    Ok so ntl chorus have just left my house. What they did was replace my original booster with a UPC(white box). At the moment i cannot get any signal on my mmdds eurovox box. Should my by box work if they haven't messed around with my aerial?

    It depends what the engineer did.
    First the mmds aerial is not working without a power inserter.
    I guess you got true cable now via a cable coming from the street into your house and the engineer cut off the cable to the aerial and collected the power inserter.

    http://i42.tinypic.com/286xw2b.jpg (new connection)

    http://i44.tinypic.com/2ludgyc.jpg (my booster)

    http://i43.tinypic.com/2j2cei8.jpg (the disabled connection connecting 2 the roof)

    http://i41.tinypic.com/8yrf2a.jpg (current connection)

    Since my room is just around the corner should i be able 2 connect my booster straight 2 this conncetion http://i43.tinypic.com/2j2cei8.jpg & get it working? The most important thing is the signal should i be able pick the analogue again?

    Check which leg at the aerial splitter has power pass and connect your power supply via coax cable to that leg.
    You need a power inserter (power supply) not a booster.

    jason did you have a tv package with them or not,have you any other connection with them such as phone or internet if you answer no to all of these then its likely you have no live feed from the white box.

    sorry forgot to mention ,try removing the part they put on ,looks like a splitter then try a direct feed into the box.
