Hi Carolyn, you mentioned an F connector - this just in from Panasonic which might be relevant to you:
"Just spoke to the customer I was going to see, the problem with a sky box is that they use an “F” connection, so it is not easy to take it out of the loop.
I got him to change the RF output of the SKY box and now it is all working, of course he then had to retune his TV’s to the new Analogue output he set the SKY box to."
Sounds like the set up at your mum's is causing the retune fails. Please see this note from Matt (he followed suggestions from Biggles) which might help as well. And if hubby would like some help with updating the set-up, he can post to that discussion as well (hit Reply to This), but he might need to draw everyone a diagram of the installation so it's easier for them to offer him some advice. Thanks again.
Hi Carolyn, been trying to get in touch with you on Facebook. Is your mum's recorder still failing after a retune? If yes, there may be a transmission provider coverage van on the shore today so I thought - if she doesn't mind - maybe they can stop by hers?

Also here's that troubleshooting guide I was talking about (there's a link to RF Modulators there which might offer some more details / insight).
