V+ problem!!!!

[kakawak]

hi guys

i have a V+ box installed however, my broadband is upstairs so i decided to buy a coax splitter so that i could split the signal from the modem to see if it was possible to have the V+ upstairs working at the same time as my broadband. when i setup my V+ box through scart i can get the channels ok but there is no guide or epg and runs very slow when changing channels, i even turned of the modem to see if this was the problem but it didnt change anything!!! so the only way to change my channels through xl package is to guess which channel number it is. do you think the broadband connection is clashing with the V+ because it needs more info sent to it as its high def or because it is shared with broadband?

kind regards me

the splitter may be crap or not for cable/sat... where did you get it? how far from the wall box is the split?

the splitter is a vocom digital qamtex 2 way splitter 3.5db which i bought from ebay and the box is about 6 meters away from modem, is this rubbish and could this be the problem?

those are supposed to be ok... have you put your v+ on the cable before you split i.e. no splitter....?

yes tried a straight through connection with the double sided female adapter so i could join both cables, unfortunately i cant try the proper straight feed to the box as my tv is wallmounted in bedroom! is there anything i could do to boost the signal, could this be the problem as signal will drop if its sharing braodband? the strange thing is that i have a explorer 4000dvb box which i got from my gran and works fine with the freeview channels but obviously i cant get my xl package channels as this box will be blocked in some way however, the epg, settings etc do come up on this box. so im stumped!
