hi mate do i have to use the loop on the back of the f5 box. oh i had 2 sky boxs

[hammers2009]

What you using the loop for ?

[jackado]

im not just asking if i had to use it

[P&D]

If you have 2 boxes connected at the same time
box 1 takes away the signal from the 2nd box also if you have the official box connected...

Disconnect the loop & try each box on a single feed one at a time.....if everything ok like this then the loop is the problem,,,drop of signal strength.

hi pd i have a skybox f5 dowstairs and an official sky box up stairs do you think this has somthing do do with the signal strength

[illmatic]

If they're both running off the same dish, why don't you try disconnecting the official box from the satellite and then trying the f5?

i have disconnected the official sky box seems ok now cheers:joyous:
