Cables and splitters

[flyin]

Is there a preferable splitter or are all splitters the same? And the copper wire in coax is it best it stands proud of the connector. And can I get a booster of some sort. I'm concerned it is causing a bit glitching on some of my channels.

what firmware is on box ,and do you know for 100% you are on the correct net id

[flyin]

No sorry I'm not 100% on net id running on sv 1.01.07 a850.

I'm having some issues with channels on lower frequencies so I think I have a lowish signal. To combat this I was looking at good quality splitters and cables.

What you want in a splitter is something in the same frequency range as the vermin one (5 - 1000mhz) and with the lowest loss figures. It generally seems you get what you pay for.

In terms of cables you can go mad and get gold plated ones which again seem to offer better picture quality. Not sure about the copper wire I would have thought it should be just proud of the connector.

Was looking at a Konig signal amplifier which seems to have worked for some people. Might give it a try can get them from a well known auction site.

For info I'm on correct net id and latest firmware. Also A850

How do I check net id

there is no boosters on cable, only droppers, im a ex telewest installer, look for the white crap inside the f, thats common and bends etc

You need to get it from your subbed box or from someone else in the same area if your BB only. I got mine off my folks box who live round the corner.

Settings
Technical stuff then its the number on the first line if i mind right

My splitter is 5 to 2400 MHz are you saying I need to bring it down to a 1000mhz

How do I check it against mine.

How do I check it against mine.

When you did a scan you would have selected your provider and then a net id.

eg I selected Telewest and then 90984 Uddingston because 90984 was the net ID for my area.

That's why you need the correct one for your area.

I was just given the option of where I live no numbers were involved.

another point is to check for vm faults in areas as that can give problems also,you could try another area,factory reset and rescan,things are changing.

[flyin]

Yes on correct net id.

My friend and I have same boxes in the same area. My friends is far more glitchy than mine and his splitter is 5 to 1000 MHz and mine is 5 to 2500 MHz. Can I up this rate.

Any other area would be quite away away.
