    Hi All,

    just got the house renovated and extended and builder added a TV/SAT socket in part of the new build. When I connect my DAB radio I get reception and successful tuning, but when I connect my tv or my UPC box via coax I get no signal at all, i know both work as they are fine when I connect them to the original UPC connection. Also I have tried both connections on the new socket.

    Would the fact that I can get a DAB connection on the new socket mean its working and I would need a booster or amplifier?

    Do you have a DAB aerial fitted? (VHF band III, vertical polarisation.)

    More than likely you don't, & the cables (either the flylead or in the wall) are acting as an aerial.

    You'll have to find out if the cable(s) feeding the socket are actually connected to anything at the other end.

    No Aerial fitted, so Ill assume the builders been lazy and not bothered to connect far end. Thanks for response.
