able from wall to TV. - I believe the apartment is cabled to a Sky dish on the roof. - Box in the cupboard is a Matchmaster 10mm-dda24. - All three inputs on the Matchmaster are connected (Terrestrial, Satellite and RF feed)
The only time I could ever get any signal and tuning was by following the article in the link below, by changing the LNB Oscillators to 10750 Mhz on the TV. Once tuned, the quality is definitely not in HD, its 520i or something similar with 70% signal strength.

ure your television remains working with a few basic tweaks here is a quick little checklist to make sure Freeview remains working!
Look at your aerial or satellite dish: Does it look right e.g. is it moving rapidly or looks unsecured?
Are the cables into the aerial still screwed / plugged in?
Cabling that runs around your house into your TV are fasten or tightened.
Trees that are blocking a line of sight from your antenna to the transmission tower or Satellite.
Other signs to look out for is pixelation on the channels, sometimes it comes every few seconds or 20-40 sec bursts, usually the UHF or Satellite antenna will need to realigned and tightened you can do this yourself or get an installer to do this.
