Cmon Shaz have you tweaked them dials yet???????

. There is only 1 dial on my signal booster. I have turned it down, turned it up; but the channel freezing still happens.

I did include a link,seems its been removed,shame......

The booster has dials/glides to trim the boost gain,put it on the worst channel and try adjusting the dials.
You may end up screwing other channels in your attempt to fix the worse channels.

TBH i aint sure,i've got an original 500 from 3 yrs ago,they were notorious for freezing/signal issues.
I've only ever tried an argos booster,no good,no yellow brick in them days so tried an attenuator.
Have you tried tweaking the booster in different combinations.

what do you exactly mean by tweaking it in different combinations?

[Donnie Darko]

i have a dial on my signal booster to lower the db. So i can adjust that and put the SNR to what I choose. Can i use that instead?

Does, but also reduces any excess noise on the line which can cause freezing/break up.

not sure if it will help mate but had the exact same problem with ss1 and ss3. I used a 6db attenuator (booster made no difference) and completely solved my problems. might be worth a try if the booster doesn`t work. - deanoboy


The above taken from a thread at DW,wrt freezing issues.

doesn't the attenuator just dumb down the signal? So you are saying my signal strength is too high?

How many times has the cable been split between the incoming feed into the house and your box, i.e does it go off to a modem or/and a subbed vm box etc etc?

the cable feed is split between modem, vbox and dreambox. But my signal booster is placed after the splitter .i.e just before the dreambox.

If you have your box connected to your router, you can download new emu using the addons menu.

Yellow > Addons Manager > DK Addons > EMU

If you are using evocamd_2.12 and still getting freezing, press "Menu > Information > Right > Right" and note the SNR reading. This needs to be above 96% before you'll get rid of the freezing. If it's below 92% then you will need to either remove a splitter or get a signal booster.

Try connecting the dreambox to the main feed and see if the SNR % improves and the freezing stops. If it does, you have a low signal and you'll need a booster if you want to connect the splitter back into the line.

i'm already using a signal booster and my SNR is 94%.
