Neighbour has Austar from a dish and free-to-air digital from a fairly new antenna, via a mast-head amp. Both signals go to the VCR and thence to the digital T.V. The free-to-air picture is excellent and the Austar picture is snowy. Very snowy. If the free-to-air antenna s unplugged from the VCR, or if the power plug-pack for the mast-head amp is unplugged from the wall, the Austar picture becomes excellent. The free-to-air picture, of course, is then non-existent. Could the mast-head amp or its plug-pack be causing some interference to the Austar signal but not to the free-to-air signal? I don't know why the antennae are connected to the VCR. That is how Austar set it up.
