Change of aerial

[Rupert+100]

I am moving from communal aerial to single.

i have followed your instructions but find the only option to communal aerial  - SCR 

is Wideband.   Is this the same as single 

NDR ?

   Many thanks.

Can you explain exactly what your doing?  Sky Q requires a dish and not an aerial.

If you're now using a different dish (?) it needs the appropriate LNB for Q.

[Rupert+100]

Sorry, I mean a dish !     Also have changed LNB on single dish for Q box.

Who?  Sky?

@Rupert+100  If I understand you correctly, you are attempting to use your own satellite dish, instead of the communal Integrated Reception System installation, to feed signals to your Sky Q receiver.

If this is the situation you will need to have a Wideband LNB fitted to this single satellite dish, with two coaxial cables installed between the Wideband LNB and your Sky Q receiver.

Then, you will need to change the LNB mode setting of your Sky Q receiver to use WIDEBAND LNB mode, before removing the mains power to your Sky Q receiver for around 30 seconds before restoring mains power to your Sky Q receiver in order to allow it to reconfigure itself to actually use Wideband LNB mode.

Excellent, very many thanks. I have already fixed the new LNB ( at my caravan ) but it would not mate to the box.  I also seem to have a problem with resolution as it is a cheap and cheerful TV  ?

@Rupert+100 so from that I take it you are taking your Q box out of your home and to a caravan to use

If thats the case I'll just say that to do so is against Sky's T&C's where the viewing card must only be used at the address it is registered to just so you are aware 

[Rupert+100]

Thank you for your help.  Still not solved problem. It now seems resolution is the problem. My set at home is a high resolution set and it seems I must reduce same to mate to lower spec set i caravan.

Minimum you can set the box to (without being able to see the screen) is 1080i using the home-1-0-8-0-home remote sequence.

how cheap and cheerful are we talking?

[Rupert+100]

Thank you, the TV is a  JVC cheapie with a resolution of c. 1080.

Can you clarify the "home" sequence to change the resolution.  My home set is LG Oled set at 2160 10 bit.

[Chodley]

On the remote hit that sequence and the box will reset to 1080i

or just change it through the menu while at home.

@Rupert+100 

Just to add to what @Chodley has advised

pressing Home 1 0 8 0 Home is designed to default the box to 1080i & is used to reset when for any reason a device is unable to display at a previous setting (i.e. can be used without needing to see an image)

Most TVs with an HDMI connection should be able to respond to a 1080i signal even if their native resolution is lower

Also as @Chodley says you can set it on your main TV before moving it (it will probably look awful at anything less than 1080)

Having said that,  I should re-iterate the reference to T&Cs  regarding location as mentioned by @Laing1

Thank you to both responders. 
This is a one off as I want to watch The Masters on holiday.
