eurovox 1000sl not picking up all transponders

[procreat8]

hi just updated my eurovox and i only pick up 31 transponders and as a result i miss out on a few channels like itv2 kiss mtv dance and a few others i have the latest firmware and live in manchester even tried power scan with booster setting and still only 31 tranponders with older firmware i got 33 any ideas oh yeah my signal strength is 75% steady

Hi m8 your signal is to low if you are using a splitter remove it and use a direct feed

Hi, I'm from Manchester with the Eurovox Max V with the same problem ??
Ive tried everything also tried direct feed and that doesnt work either, I'm get'n heigh level of quality signal but for some reason the box is not pick'n up all channels and the signal is getting blocked ??
if u get help plz let me know thanks

[smoggy]

what do you mean by the signal is getting blocked
which firmware have you got on the box
when on a bad channel press the remotes info button twice and what signal strength does it show

[procreat8]

tried direct feed still only 31 transponders funny how someone else in manchester is having the same problem

theres lots of people in manchester having problems lately. Me included. Constantly fluctuating signals. I think we just have to wait out whatever is going on.

the level and quality of the signal is high over 75% most of the time, if finds most channels but not all and once its finished scan it comes up with "NO SIGNAL" then after a while the picture comes on then starts to break up then go off. The firmware ive used is UFL_MAX_V_5-12-08 which i obtained off this site. Ive tried everything ??

I tend to agree with BAZ1986 just wait and see what happend but till then I'll still scan every day to see what happens ?

too low or too high a signal gives the symptoms you have
75% is on the low side the optimum is around 80%
when on a pixellating channel press the remotes info button twice and what is the signal strength and is the signal steady

I've got an engineer coming round next week to take a look. Will report back ay improvements then. Picture is fine on vermin box though.

just pressed info button siganl strength @ 83 % ( both level and Quality ) but its still come'n up "NO SIGNAL" but i can see by the green bars the signal IS there ??

Thats just a couple of seconds snapshot of the signal. To get a better idea, press info on the channel and note the frequency down. press menu ---> installation ---> user installation and scroll to where your that particular frequency is.

I bet you'll find that you're signal is wildly fluctuating, good one second and then in the red the next.

Mine was just fine for 20mins.... terrible again now... comes and goes. Hopefully the engineer will be able to 'smooth' the signal out or something. But I do beleive there is something going on in the manchester area.

EDIT: Also mark. Have you tried watching late at night. ie. 12am - 1am. I get absolutely no problems late at night.

Press info twice and see what frequency the channel is on then go to the installation menu hi lite the frequency and tweak it using the coloured button option ie 282.000 change to 282.750 save and exit and see what its like then.

Thanks ive tried it and no beta the signal is @ 83% for about 5 secs then jumps down to 0 -20 %. the signal keeps fluctute'n that sequence all time ??
