    Hi Guys,
    Just wondering if anyone knows why I'm not getting a signal from our N-L MMDS Aerial in the Galway area.
    Bascially we had the following set up.
    Subbed N-L box upstairs in the bedroom and a Dreambox downstairs in the living room. With the channels mostly gone on the dreambox I decided to switch them around. All I thought I would have to do would be to cut off some threaded F connectors and replace with the push in type.
    However now that I have done this I'm not getting a signal to either box. I also removed the splitter so that I only had the signal going downstairs but still no luck.
    I did notice a few sparks flying when I was reconnecting the co-ax cables.... Would I have blown anything. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I'm not the most popular person in the house right now!

    you have prob shorted the power inverter on the aerial that could be why you seen the sparks

    Check the braiding on your cable making sure its not touching the inner core of the main cable see does that work if not its a new down concerter your going to need
