DM600 picture breakup

[smirnoff_rules]

ok l have had a 600 for a about a year now and had no problems at all .. picture have been great , the other day l was watchin a film from my mounted drive (not the internal drive) the picture froze and l rebooted and watch the rest of the film . anywho l switched over to discovery channel and most of there channels r crap un watcherable ? any ideas , theres a few more that r doing it to . but as l say its been ace

l restored my backup image aswell and still the same

i know it sounds silly but i had something like that on my dm7025 the coaxial lead wasa bit twisted and not proberly in the tuner and the ber shoot right up so i just checked the cable to make sure all was okay
just a wild guess probaly ~~~~ all to do with it

My pace box starts to freeze and get a bit jumpy if I dont turn it off now and again and let it cool down mind you it used to be fine the older its getting the problem seems to get worse.

As your box is new,ish I dont think its that but alot of people have been going on about there jumpy screens after a power cut a few week back.

Could just be virgin messing around with this new 50 meg Bband who knows
cheap cable also can cause a freezing problem I,ve used old ariel cable a few times to split feeds and the picture tended to jump now and again.

you,ll suss it out you old mucka

the other 500 is ace no problems .. will see if it gets better when the cooler weathers here in a few day ?

before u say . try the 500 in place of the 600 , they have never working the other way around . never strange . as if l likes a week sig and the other strong

try swapping the wires over on the splitter then you can cancel the splitter out if the splitters ok try a new line of cable might be a bit frayed inside if its been rolled up etc

just a thought though you know im shite at tech stuff

have you tried a booster i never removed mine when changed box from 500c to 600c and picture is fine.


sorry didnt re post correctly

[Curious123]

What cam you using? I find anything other than Evcamd 2.14 and the picture just freezes or breaks.

@napster I would remove the booster as you really don't need it with the DM600.

cheers m8 removed it

[smirnoff_rules]

using 2.12 or 2.13 l think .. not sure if 2.14 works . will try when l get in cheers

[Curious123]

Try Evocamd 2.14 or Evocamd 2.17 though with cable latest is not always the bestest.

[kagon]

Using Evocamd 2.17c here without much trouble (no freezing or decoding artifacts). Maybe you've got some issues with the box itself smirnoff? If you leave the box on for a while, navigate to some channels giving you issues and then have a look at the output for the "dmesg" command in a telnet/SSH session you might get some further insight into any possible hardware problems.

an update , Femalelizzard was right its was a faulty splitter .. first for me that and Femalelizzard only kidding ... not

Hehe. Curious that it worked with your DM500 and not your DM600 though, and that it just spontaneously stopped working properly. Did you get hungry and chew on your splitter late one night or something?
