FreeSat / Sky signal

[Daniel Elson]

This signal seems to be down in my Crescent House flat since Sunday night. Has anyone else had problems with FreeSat / Sky reception this week? MDTV will investigate but they will charge if it turns out to be my receiver that is broken. thanks.

My freeview is fine Daniel, the cupboard near the lifts which houses the boosters was laying wide open last week, I did see some one in the cupboard rooting about on Monday I think.

Think they should check the signal right at the point before it enters the flat, if the signal is there then they can charge you for any repair/maintenance inside your flat, I watched them do it here and I saw that the cable had not been installed properly were it enters the flat, less than 5 mins work.

Thanks for the information. The signal went between Sunday night and Monday night, so if someone was working in the booster cupboard on Monday then I suspect that probably caused my issue.

I think the communal lighting i think is in the same cupboard, and is faulty once again as it is now on 24 hours a day, so it may have been the company that "maintains" the communal lighting or MDTV, as far as i could see as it was dark, when the cupboard door was left blowing in the wind last week the cabling is a mess, none of the boosters or splitters are attached to the wall, they are free floating in the air, I should have taken a photo, so it wouldn't come as a surprise if the connections are broken, loosened or interrupted.

Thanks Nathan - MDTV found a broken earth cable that was affecting my aerial. All sorted now.
