Hi anyone know if this is easy enough to change ourselves or is it best to get someone in?
If it is easy enough can you advise what tools we need & where to get a replacement (a guide would be good!
)
Thanks

Calm down dear simple mistake, and technically a dish and lnb set is an aerial.0 -
oooooo sorry went away from the comp for a short while! What I mean is we have an aeriel (I'm a little nervous as I'm not sure whay I did to get bolded and loads of ????) on our roof Its not satelite, we have freeview. There is a box attached to the aeriel which is a spliter (spilts the lead 3 ways for different rooms in the house) we were told this was called a LND it looks like this has been boken as we haven't been able to get a signal for the last couple of days lots of stalling, and then oh went up there did "something" and now there's no signal!DF as at 30/12/16

OK its not an LNB, its either a passive or an active splitter.
I wouldnt suggest DIY for any of this its not a big issue just get a local installer in as I suggested here, the down sides of DIY chimney work can be life ending.

sounds like a masthead amplifier , there is a box by the aerial on the roof and a mains adapter indoors by the aerial socket that powers the splitter on the outsideEx forum ambassador
