    had a problem with one a few months back same thing only picked up certain channels gave up after a while reckoned the tuner was bust,so what i would suggest is try one of your boxes in his house and see if it works.

    The sat&cable thingy has a different downconverting frequency. Try a scan at 690 mhz and 698mhz.

    The polarization of the aerial has to be right and the psu should working.
    Some blokes are producing a short circuit with bad fitted f-plugs at the aerial cable.

    If the inner wire core get contact to the braided wire cores and/or the metal foil shield at the cable thats a short circuit.
    Btw you need a free line of sight to the transmitter.
