I would think the steam may be condensing on the dish which could be affecting your signal issue. Check it again today and see what the strength and quality are and if they are still low ring Sky and complain as the installer may have installed it in a stupid place. Could it have been placed higher or in a different site on the wall away from the boiler vent?
Hmm possibly, Im keeping an eye on it, if I have any more problems I'll ring em.
Another thing, the Thomson Sky Box I was given has 2 Antenna outputs 1 saying +9v DC 50ma MAX, is there any problem with feeding this output into a booster and piping it into another room? Why is it powered?
You can feed it into a booster, that's fine - the voltage is turned off by default. All Sky boxes have the voltage available on RF 2. It's for the Sky TVLink, which allows you to control the STB from another room. Most boosters won't pass the voltage through though.
OK Cheers! Well I phoned Customer Services today and the guy at the end of the phone was very polite and helpful and took me through a few steps to check my signal, etc. And said to phone back if the problem persists, it still is so I will probably phone them tomorrow. Cheers guys.
