Had a simillar problem before on an install and it turned out that when I changed the rf2 out channel no it cured the problem


Could also be interference from some electrical device in your house ie. cordless phone or simillar.

It is possible that your aerial which is now picking up some DTT digital signals may be clashing with the frequency your sky box is coming out at. So as country rebel said you will need to change this.

You havent said what type of box you have so I will tell you how to with standard box and sky +

Press services
Press 4, 0 , 1 and then select to access installer menu
now press no 4 and you will see the channel number your sky box is coming out on.

You can change its value from channel 21 - 68. You will then need to tune in your secondary tv to the new value in order to see the sky box, you may need to change it a few times to get a clear picture...

Hi I think i might have found out what my problem is.I swaped why tvs putting Lcd down stairs and the heavy crt tv up stairs and the tv picture break up is still on crt tv.While the lcd picture is perfect.So it look like i will always have this problem with the crt tv picking up the sky channels.

did you change the position of the sky box?
is it upstairs or in the kitchen

No just the tvs could hear the crt tv sound breaking up while watching the same channel on the lcd tv down stairs.
