channel freezing

[Donnie Darko]

what does a attenuator do exactly?

It dumbs down a strong signal

The above is a 6db attenator,you can buy them cheaper,the above is a ripoff price.

I actually have a dial on my signal booster, so I can lower or higher the amount of boost. If I can lower it, does that mean I dont need the attenuator?

Also what is the ideal % SNR i should be aiming for?

yes, you can overwrite them

about 94% - 96% is spot on.

could be Vir@in are playing around in your area.

or you might be on a splitter coming from another splitter which will weaken your signal.

Trying different cams , see if you can get one better than the others.

check all your connections again, make sure everything is in order.

Do you have a clone or original box, it has been known that some bad tuners in some of the original box, is yours push in or screw on tuner ?

Just found out why my daughters box been doing this

It might be overheating.

i just solved my daughters freezing probs and loss of picture on her 500.

it was sitting directly on top of a DVD player which was getting very hot.

Ive stood the 500 upright so all vents are free from heat, and the pic has stopped messing up.
