Coming up with a rhyme for `Ingrid' is going to be quite a challenge.

No, it doesn't scan.

You're right. Few things worse than a non-scanning limerick.

Whose doing the second line?

Ok, who's going to supply the fourth line?

i'm moving into a rented flat tommorow, the landlord dosent know owt about
the tv/phone/broadband options available, and i havent had time to ask
others in the block yet.

There's a sky minidish on the roof, it looks to have a quad lnb on it... 4
down leads come from it, above that is a FM antenna and a normal
terestrial
antenna.

In the flat is a wall plate, it has a Tv antenna socket, radio socket, and
2
F type connectors,

one is lables 'SAT' the other 'RETURN'

Now i gather the sat one is connected to the lnb.... most likely through a
distribution amp as there's only one dish, and a good 20 or so flats it
apeers to feed.

it's the return F connector i can't work out, anyone any ideas wot it's
for??

i'm wondering that i either need some sort of box to go between the wall
plate sockets and the sky box, which connects to both F connectors,
or maybe the return is for satelite broadband which most likely isnt
present,

OR .. thought that just hit me, it could be the 2 F connectors are both
sky
box connectors for a sky plus twin tuner jobbie, and the return label was
just what was on the wall plates the builders bought,

i may have answered my own question, but can someone confirm or deny it if
possible.




For the sat to work properly there will need to be a quad or quattro LNB and
a multi-switch to allow any receiver to select any band and polarity e.g.
http://www.emp-centauri.cz

Proper satellite receivers (not $ky) loop the LNB through so that it can go
to another receiver or another room, alternatively you could daisy chain
your VCR, DTT, and DSAT UHF and run that through to another room (e.g.
bedroom). The return on the plate may go to an outlet elsewhere in the flat
(try the bedroom).

You're satellite box should have an LNB IN and LNB OUT (so someone can
watch exactly the same thing your watching on another box). I presume LNB
OUT is what goes to return, though why you would need to connect it up I
don't know.
To the original poster:

This is a load of ********. Ignore it.

And in what way is it a load of ********?

You opened your mouth or typed on your keyboard. That's all anyone needs to
know to be warned a load of ******** is on its way....

Probably an extension wired through to the bedroom. Wire the RF OUT
of your Sky box to it, and you can tune your bedroom telly into
whatever is being watched on the Sky box.

Wrong. The OP has stated that 'SAT' and 'RETURN' are BOTH F TYPE
CONNECTORS. There are both satellite sockets NOT RF sockets.

1. If satellite signals are not RF, what are they?

Satellite signals are Microwave band DVB-S transponder signals
heterodyned to a lower IF frequency by a local oscillator inside the LNB
which as switches between the different polarisations.

and are RF

RF refers to UHF modulation of an analogue composite video signal
in your very odd definition

RF actually means "Radio Frequency". Some services start as low as 16kHz
and the term extends to encompass microwave frequencies as well.

Being pedantic, some services are around 4-6kHz, but not in the UK.
