Patch lead ?? So i need to buy more cable ?

Try this place. The splitter comes with the patch cables. Done mine no problem
My Cable Box-Cables & Accessories (UK)-2 Way Cable Splitter Kit

OK, have it setup as you said... SB into IN on splitter, patch lead back to SB, and cable from splitter running upstairs to 2nd SB Box, but still not workin.... The sky cable i'm using has 2 seperate leads... Do they both have to be in the splitter at the same time to work ?

Try it this way.
Put the main cable feed into the (in) on the splitter.
Then run one cable to you first box from the (out) on the splitter.
Then run another cable from the other (out) on the splitter to the other box.

That's exactly how i've got it... the sky cable is in two bits tho... not got any more outs left in the splitter to put the extra one in... Have you ever come across this b4 ? Sky cabling in two ?? Or do i need a 3 way splitter ?

[jakehoyt]

Have sb downstairs and upstairs... downstairs connected to splitter IN... patch lead from OUT splitter into IN on sb, then using cables running to upstairs bedroom to IN on sb box... Upstairs box not working though... Any thoughts on why ???

assume your 1st box is working ok, ie latest f/ware on, getting all channels. what does your 2nd box get? anything? has it got latest f/ware on? if yes ,try swapping them about!sounds like cable problem to me. stuff is cheap enough to buy..ynwa

[jakehoyt]

Yea, you were right about replacing cables... Up and running now !! One last problem tho, no sound.... Should i do a factory reset ?? Or is there another option / way ??

[jakehoyt]

Volume on remote is fully to the right... No sound at all.... What should i do ?

[jakehoyt]
