Hi all. I recently moved into a new home and bought a Panasonic TX-65MX650B tv, which has both LNB and aerial input.
First, I tried using a coax cable to plug into the aerial wall plate and tried scanning for channels using the antenna tuner. But it failed. As I couldn’t find any antenna outside my house, I assume that wall plate may not have any signal at all.
On the other hand, there is a satellite disk outside and the cable is running into my house, I tried plugging in the F type connector cable into the LNB port of my TV, it scanned channels successfully. However the cable is located at the opposite side of the current location of my TV. Connecting to this cable directly is not OK.
And then I find that there is another aerial wall plate located just next to the said cable. So I am thinking of using a f type to aerial adapter to plug the satellite cable into the wall plate. And I assume that the two wall plates should have been connected and in that case I could get the satellite signal through the wall plate in the opposite wall.
But I failed again.
So I would like to ask if there is any mistakes in the above assumptions or have I missed out anything?
I am new in UK and it caused me quite a few troubles in figuring out all the settings in this new home. Hope someone could help. Thanks.
