I have recently purchased a YouView DTR T1000 to replace my 9200T and to my dismay found that I could not get a signal from my aerial socket because there is no antenna power facility in the menu selections as there was with the 9200T. What can I do?

Yes there is such an option. It is called RF LoopThrough under Youview -> Settings -> Device Management
Edit: Sorry, you actually mean a power supply to send back to a mast-head amp? Yes that feature is one of the missing ones. You could keep the 9200T installed and used that to send power back to the aerial and daisy-chain the aerial signal onto the DTR-T1000.

Thanks very much, yes, I have already done that, and all is O.K for now. However, I presume I could purchase a small 12v 100ma masthead power supply available from the likes of Amazon,then I can remove the 9200T, do you agree?

The power supply must be the first item in the downlead from the aerial.

If that is the case then installing a 12 volt supply will not be good for its health. It may be that the mast head amplifier will accept a range of voltage without damage but you need to check the amplifier specifications.

Most (if not all) will work with 5-12V power. It's Sky magic eyes that have the rather odd 9V power requirement.
