Can you also tell me how I can improve the quality of the picture?

UHF Sky doesn't use a satellite dish so no LNB setup is needed.

732072 2008-12-23 23:21:00 Make sure you are using a Scart Lead to the TV and not just the RF lead Scart come in 3types Scart to 3 RCA (yellow, Red, White) Scart to S Video (S Connector + 2 RCA) and Scart to Component RGB (5 RCA ) i have listed them in order of quality from good to best. Make sure TV has a Component input if using this lead.

732073 2008-12-23 23:46:00 LNB Setup - off I think

There are two main LNBs used the older LNB 10750 or the newer one 11300. One will work.

Component is MEANT to give you the best picture but sometimes it's the worst, I have set up many Sky decoders, and each decoder seems to be different, plus not all Decoders have Component, but they all should have S-Video.

732075 2008-12-24 03:13:00 Have a look in the Sky setup and check what your signal strength is.
Might just need your dish realigned.

LNB needs to be on unless the LNB is remotly powered by another source.

what wrong with the picture?
what sort of tv are you connecting it to?
