on the Sky box is same frequency as one of the Freeview mux. If its a satellite box it could be a LNB problem. Paul said:
The downstairs Tv has MYsky + RF cable feeding the signal to upstairs Tv.
The downstairs and kitchen Tv are also connected via a UHF aerial.
I assume that the Kitchen and Downstairs both have freeview built in.
I also assume the Upstairs Tv doesn't have freeview built in.
That's my interpretation...

in after a few seconds! All the channels are stuck! Just get audio only!
The Brand is SATVIEW D90 model I think!

What brand and model is the box?
Have you tried a cold start i.e. turn power off at wall for about 30secs then turn on again? This will sometimes resolve problems. Unlikely to be the satellite signal or there would have been complaints from others. Are the other channels OK or is it still stuck?

to the existing satellite on the roof. All straightforward.
I moved and unfortunately have now only got an aerial (roof) option and the cable is different. The TV itself doesn't have the necessary chip to pick up digital tv, so just plugging in the aerial doesn't work.
So, do I need a different converter box for an aerial or can I just get an adapter plug for the aerial so I can screw it into the converter? If so, what and where (Auckland Central)? Thanks!
Converter box is UltraPlus 680 Platinum (LNB IN 13/18v = 400mA max)
TV: Sharp Aquos (modern flat screen but minus chip)…
llation process. On some occasions, the installation will fail to find a signal with "Database Empty" message given. This issue occurs when either there is a problem with the connection to the satellite dish or the "LNB" on the satellite dish is not sending the signal at the pre-programmed frequency. On majority of the occasions, we have found that the "LNB" on the Sky installed dish sends the frequency incorrectly. The best remedy is to have the "LNB" replaced.A temporary signal can be found using the following Blind Scan method. Please note that the signal is temporary and you will lose the signal when the "LNB" further deteriorates. You will also lose your channels on the next channel update or rearrangement done by Freeview as the signal at the pre-programmed frequency is not available.Procedure:1. Press the MENU button2. Select INSTALLATION and press OK3. Select SATELLITE SETUP and press OK4. Move to LNB number and change it to 5 using the arrow keys.
You should see LNB LOW FREQUENCY and LNB HIGH FREQUENCY change to 107505. Move to "22 KHZ" and change the setting to "OFF"6. Press the OK button7. When asked "Do you want to scan?", select NO and press OK.8. Select "BLIND SCAN" and press OK9. Move to START FREQUENCY and replace the existing value with 1220010. Move to POLARIZATION and change the value to HORZ11. Move to SERVICE TYPE and change the value to FTA12. Press OK to SCAN13. The scan will begin showing the progress frequency and a yellow bar moving across to show progress.14. Once the scan has finished, press the EXIT buttonThe BLIND SCAN option will collect all the services from all broadcasters. Non-Freeview channels may show from channel number 1000 and above and may show as scrambled service.below
