Using a SLx8L with a PCI card
 

Good afternoon all
I am using a SLx8L (great by the way) to distribute a Sky and TDTV
signal around the house and it works fine EXCEPT when I connect it to
my computer's pci card - then nothing. The pci card works fine using
the feed directly from the aerial.
Does anyone have any suggestions please?
TIA
Martyn

I've seen a few PCI cards that don't like strong signals fed into them
(60dBuV). Try a 6db attenuator on the cards input and see how you go.......

My Freecom falls over with over 65 (or was it 75). It worked fine if I
unplugged it and put the flylead somewhere near the socket on the
receiver, but not in it.
