[petehill]

i am a new owner of a mutant hd51 duel tuner , bought from wos..one cable and the other sat. i get sat channels ok . the problem with the cable tuner is i only get channel 5 but its pixelated, i have set it up for only FTAHD only. even with channel 5 i still cant watch it while recording off the sat channels. it says theirs a problem with my tuner configuration. do i loop through the tuners ?

So you are splitting the main cable so one is going to your router and one is going into your receiver right?

[petehill]

yeh your right. i am splitting cable from router which also has a metal connector into into the back of the router in which my cable connects through.

Maybe it could be the signal levels need to be adjusted. Although i am not sure if you are allowed to split the signal yourself and whether it is legal or not?

[petehill]

how do i adjust my signal levels ? i am only wanting the free vm channels.

There are like 4 or 5 channels which are FTA on virgin. You are better of plugging in a cable and getting all the terrestrial channels

i cant as i have no ariel, i took off the attenuator now i get stv, channel 4 and channel 5 all pixelated and unwatchable but no bbc channels.

Why did you get a sat tuner?

Surely you'll get plenty of FTA channels via that?

Just buy any cheap areil that has the f connector type and it should pick up the T2 channels

Terrestrial Ariels do not use F connectors
