    Virgin tv signal

    Have Virgin changed their tv signal strength?The reason I ask is my on demand (iplayer etc)suddenly stopped working.I'm running a split signal to kitchen to get freeview on defunct dbox2.
    I called out engineer and he promptly disconnected the split and ran a new length of cable from wall box. straight into vbox and on demand started working again.
    After he'd gone I tried to split the signal as before and guess what -on demand stopped working again!

      i tkink you have just answered that question yourself..

      i would think that what you have said the splitter is literally splitting the signal strenth..

      i may be wrong..

              VM are always fiddling with local signal strenth but you should usually have a high enough signal to allow for one splitter (modem/digibox).

              Check your signal strength with and without the splitter installed to see what loss is occuring.

                  They said everyone has been the same, Ask around the neighbours, could be a falt in your area.

                      thanks for replies guys-is there a way to check signal strength without buying special gear-dbox 2 for instance?
