    Hi
    From aerial through SLX then to the TV when Humax is off.
    SLX has 4 TV outlets, 3 of which are used
    Many thanks

    Just as a test try disconect the aerial lead from the TV itself then check to see if the message "terrestrial antenna is short circuited" still appears when you watch TV through the Humax box

    Thanks, did that and the fixed message flashed on and off a few times then went back to a fixed message in the middle of the screen again.

    The other 2 tv's are fine (no Humax box) with no message

    Also, I tried to turn off "Antenna Power" again (just in case it wanted turning off again) but it wasn't highlighted!

    Thanks

    Just set the Humax box up on another TV,

    No message now, so it looks like the problem is possibly the ariel feed on the other TV?

    Anyone?

    Hi Jo 90, Always check your cables is the answer. I keep spare leads or swap leads around to test issues when they arise. That may have been your problem. Glad you got it working without the message. John L

    I think you have demonstrated that the problem is with that aerial feed. I think you said you have a four way amplifier but are using only three of the outlets. Try connecting the problem feed to the unused output and see if that fixes the problem. If it doesn't then you need to examine the run of the aerial cable to see if there is anywhere that the voltage is being injected. Also it might help if you could give us the model number of the SLX.

    Thanks. The user manual suggests that the SLx can supply power to a masthead amplifier but the power would be on the aerial in socket. https://www.philex.com/products/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/27820R-4-way-Aerial-distribution-amplifier.pdf Does that throw any light on the problem?

    Many thanks for your help, I just use my Humax box on another TV so I don't get the message on the TV screen now

    Thanks again

    Great site
