Tempramental Eurovox 5100 (Newbie!)

[Dilla]

Guys,

I recently purchased a eurovox5100 with new firmware loaded from lincsat.

Generally it works well but occasionally I get major interference and blocky pictures, for some reasons this seems to be isolated mainly to the sky sports channels.

As I type all my channels are working fine apart from sports where I am getting a 'bad or no signal' message, prior to this it was working fine for the best part of 8 hours.

I have tried rescanning but with no luck, also tried the signal booster. The signal strength hovers at around 85% so I dont think there is an issue there.

Any advice?!

85% is good i have heard from others it might be due to strong signal and to try a splitter also try other filmware in our download section good luck m8

Thanks for the reply mate, I am currently using a splitter as I have my internet connected as well.

It seems to be isolated to the sky sports channels which is quite unfortunate! It is also random as to when it plays up.

i suppose you tried removing splitter look here for more info Eurovox

Strange, now I cant get signal on any of my channels (even though it was working beautifully this morning/afternoon), the signal keeps dropping from 85% to back down under 20%.

Getting really fed up with this now, seems like a waste of money!

Just as I posted everything seems to have fixed itself, completely bizarre and bemusing.

Does anyone know why this is happening? I set it up yesterday and had similar issues at around the same times yesterday...
