You tried reflashing image mate?

[harry1986]

yes i have done that to i reflashed the image i had dk image on there and reflashed it again off here but still no difference.

Use Evocam 2.14 and than turn it to S*y SP1 and then see how it performs.

Do you have any splitters/boosters or attenuators on the feed? If so have you tried removing them all?

[harry1986]

just a splitter no booster but it cant be that as the signal is fine i will try 2.14 as curious 123 said thanks.

with the greatest of respect mate, channel breakup usually means the signal is anything but fine. remove the splitter. you may be getting too strong a signal so try an attenuator

[harry1986]

na i know for sure the signal is fine because it used to work fine before the keys started to update from then onwards it started to happen but the keys auto update and they keys aint changed so thats no the problem aqnd curious 123 i could only find evocamd 2.14b is that the right one? if not can you please post it here so i could download it thanks.

[Krypton]

signal power chops and changes all the time mate. i have had legit signals doing it so i can assure you that your dodgy signal will be doing the same

[MetalKettle]

What else is plugged into the splitter? Not a modem by any chance?

[harry1986]

to be honest i know for a fact it isnt the signal as i have never had this problem before so why would they lower my signal now?

[harry1986]

jamesredfern yes a modem is plugged in to the splitter thats how my internet is working if i take the modem wire out just my dreambox will work only.

[MetalKettle]

Does the freezing stop when the modem is not plugged in. I have seen a few people post that there modem was affecting their Dreamboxes, something to do with bad splitters.

[harry1986]

i brought a new splitter before and it didnt still make the freezing stop so i just had to return it and it still happens when i take the internet wire out i tryed everything to solve this problem

signal issue signal issue signal issue. as i stated previously, signal power goes up and down all the time. i have had legit services working fine one day then blocky choppy/no signal at all later on the same day. ntl came out and put a booster/attenuator on the line dpending what the problem is.
it matters not if your signal strength was brilliant before, its NOT NOW.
