I was pleased with the quality of the unit, very heavy and quality chrome. Good value.
However could not get flow on cold side with first cartridge, no hot water. Tried reversing cartridge still only flow to one side. Supplier organised second cartridge, same issue with this one. We persevered with it and finally got flow to both sides after several removals. The internal mechanism seems to stick, maybe they are an old stock and internal seals have dried. Good job my son in law a plumber as we were both hard pressed to figure out what was going on.
Labgear LDU608G 8-Way TV and Radio Signals Distribution Amplifier Great for Sky
20 Dec, 2016
Good item but poor setup instructions
The LDU608G has a built in 4G filter that prevents interference from the 4G mobile phone network, that is what the G in its name stands for. The previous model, HDU681 did not have this. I was replacing an older loftbox
Sky boxes are preset to channel 68 (analogue) on the RF2 output that the TVs connected to the labgear box have to be tuned to , to receive the Sky signal
For the LDU608G you need to change the RF2 output channel to a channel below 60 for it to work, then retune the TVs that are connected through the LDU608G to that channel.
Unfortunately the instructions with the loft ox do no tell you this and I spent many hours troubleshooting connections, cables and the Skybox itself. Fortunately the seller was in the know when I contacted him, as you could never work it out.
When it works is does what it says on the tin!!
Also note this is no good with Sky Q which does not have RF2 output
