    Arrgh!.. Turn of the CAPS LOCK. It means "I'M SHOUTING" on the Internet :)

    Three Suggestions, any one of which may fix it:

    Try a Sat/TV 950 MHz duplex filter on the Chorus feed where it comes in. Put a 75R termination / dummy load on the "Sat" connection of the splitter.

    Don't use RF out of Sky, it's fairly rubbish. Use SCART, or even SCART to Composite RCA adaptor to use a coax.

    Go Installer menu and try a different Sky RF out channel too.

    I had the same problem after chorus upgraded in my area, I used a UHF/VHF diplexor to solve my problem.

    The OP could try moving the Modulator to a high UHF channel (one of 64,65,66,67,68), (though avoid any channels in use for terrestrial in your area, for example 66 and 68 in the mid-west)
