Unfortunately, Seb 101 hasn't been back since 22nd November (over 2 weeks) so I think he's either solved it or lost interest by now.

And this (but note that it's no longer available!) http://www.satcure.co.uk/accs/page18.htm#WR30BE

There's a surprising number of books about it although I confess that I've read only one (and only because it was already on a second-hand "Kindle" that I bought off eBay!) https://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_noss/255-9476714-1299754?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=death+of+diana...

Some years ago a Stevenage radio amateur, called Duncan Head, G7PNE, converted one or more analogue Sky satellite TV receivers for amateur TV use. If he's still alive, you might be able to contact him and ask for details. As I recall, he used a Pace PRD800 receiver in one of his successful...

Wow, they lasted 7 years! Definitely get the same again!

I'm confused, markymark. First you stated 18 volts. Now you state 16.8 volts. And you still haven't specified AC, DC or regulated DC.

Firstly, the previous owners have committed an act of theft if "fixtures & fittings" were included in the sale. The amplifier is classed as "fixtures & fittings" because obviously it's part of the TV aerial system. You should ask your solicitor to make a claim for the total cost including...

We gave our children books to read. They grew up into responsible, capable adults. Why condemn yours to a life of mediocrity?

Yes let us know and please confirm that you have the correct aerial because you'll probably never get good results otherwise.

The type of DI that you have is not suitable for an unbalanced input. See the last couple of minutes of this video:

I don't understand what you mean by "isolator". A laptop computer can't drive a loudspeaker so you must be using an amplified speaker system - presumably stereo. The audio signal will be at "line level" and requires a screened cable. The quality of cable makes a difference. The majority of...

I'm not convinced that it's anywhere near as good as WF100. It's imported by Philex and they don't provide full spectrum attenuation figures. All they state is 2.77 dB at 1 MHz (presumably for 100m), which is truly awful. In fact it's so bad that I suspect they've made a mistake. But that's what...

DT9 6AW prediction is a 48 dBuV/m signal (at 10 metres height from Stockland Hill on a bearing of 250 degrees). That's moderately strong so, provided that you use WF100 cable and the runs aren't each dozens of metres in length, you should get away with a passive splitter such as this...

First, what's your postcode so we can look up the predicted signal strength? That would be a start.

An 8dB amp. as suggested will probably do but I couldn't make a specific recommendation without knowing your signal strength at the aerial, type of coaxial cable and lengths of cables. It would be unprofessional to do so and might be wrong. This might help...

But Freeview is free. And Sky is no longer providing standard Sky+ Digiboxes. They have been dropped in favour of Sky-Q (which probably costs more.)

NOT including 60 as it's too close to 59. Frankly, there are so many possibilities for interference that your best bet is a competent technician with a spectrum analyser that can see what's there. Guessing is seldom successful.

Ah, Samsung. You get what you pay for, I guess. http://www.satcure.co.uk/reviews/satcure_blog_189.htm#chat http://www.satcure.co.uk/reviews/satcure_blog_171.htm#samsung

As it's only 5mm the answer is simple. Make an adapter bracket from 3mm steel plate that has holes to match the existing holes in the wall. Above those holes and slightly offset (right or left) drill two more holes. Feed two bolts into those holes and weld the heads or secure with nuts. Then...

This M233 thin coaxial cable is quite well screened and suitable for use with low-level audio signals, should you need it: http://www.satcure.co.uk/accs/page18.htm?#M233 Obviously it's NOT suitable for loudspeaker connections. You can get better but it tends to be really expensive.
