    My Dad got a new Sky + installed.
    The old sky box - you could choose to watch channels via the ariel or through Sky.
    After the installation last week - the tv is no longer set up to access channels via the ariel.
    Accessing channels such as rte news now & rte + 1 is not now available.
    Plus - if the satalite system is down - my dad would be unable to access a tv service.


    Is it possible for my Dad to access channels from both the Ariel and via Sky?

    New Sky boxes don't have a connection for a terrestrial aerial or, RF outputs.

    Plug the aerial cable into the TV's own aerial socket. (Or Saorview box aerial socket, if that's what he has.)

    If he has TVs in other rooms that were fed from the Sky box RF output, he will need a separate device to re-establish this facility.

    The sky box is only feeding that one TV.

    I will try that.

    Many Thanks

    Ariel is washing powder (especially with an upper case letter), so that is not possible.

    If he has an aerial however try plugging that direct into the TV.

    Was he only getting the soaps?

    I'll get my coat...
