Grundig SKY Digibox - No sound via RF output

[David White]

Hi.

I have just had a Grundig Sky Digibox installed, and am reasonably happy -
apart from the fact that I can't get any sound out through the RF output!

I can get sound out through SCART, to both the TV and video, but I can't get
any sound if I tune the TV and video into the RF output (channel 68). The
picture is perfect (for an RF output), but there's no sound AT ALL.

I have been on to Sky already, and hopefully the engineer will be back today
to have a go, but I've tried everything the guy at the end of the phone had
to suggest, plus I tied changing the RF output to channel 34 (I read via
dejanews that ch68 can be dodgy sometimes), but to no avail - when I tuned
the TV into ch34, no sound!

Does anyone have any ideas why this might be, and more importantly, how to
solve it? I have a video redistributor that takes the RF output of the video
and spreads it through the house, and if I can't get sound, then that whole
system's useless for watching Sky upstairs...

TIA,
DW

Is it happening on both RF1 and RF2?

Yup. It's happening on both RF outputs.

Do you have any ideas on any settings I might be able to jiggle about with
to try and get it working?

I got in touch with Sky and they got the installation engineer to call back.
He suggested the RF output component was buggered, and would 'phone it in as
a faulty box. Bugger.

I guess I now have to wait for Sky to get back to me about delivering a
replacement...

Still, it works fine downstairs through SCART - shame I can't use it
upstairs, though.

I am pleased with the increase in image quality over ON. The BBC does seem
to have lowered it's bitrate on both platforms, though, as their channels
are getting worse! Hell, even the analogue signal is pants nowadays -
especially in some news broadcasts.

Ho hum.

In which case, it sounds like it is a fault.

New box I'm afraid.
