glitching

[geordle]

can you try a little experiment try a factory reset and scan your provider and try a different net id,sometimes where you are that net id is wrong.

some areas may have high or low signals so things vary

just tried cactikids "little experiment" i normaly scan on gateshead but glitching was really bad ive just scanned wearside and although there are a few channels missing the glitching is virtualy nothing the mi9ssing channels i can cope with thanks cactikid

im also useing a vm super hub can anyone tell me how to set it to just modem so i can use netgear router as i wouldnt mind giving that a try also

[cactikid]

things are never as straight forward as we hope,sometimes trying different things will give different results,later one could try another net id,and always factory reset/rescan from main feed.

set the hub to modem mode connected net gear router signal levels have improved greatly they are now 86 on most with a few on 77 virtually glitch free thanks guys

dont no what strength is best tried 4 differant net ids in my area manchester 1 /2/3 and manchester trails there all about the same strength S= 88 Q = 79 but its still glitching on them all.

[cactikid]

have you put the variable attenuator onto the box?

reading back again any m8s in area have a providers box to get the net id from,maybe your net id is not what your scanning on.

where do you see the signal levels at ?

where do you see the signal levels at ?

At the bottom of the screen you have signal on the left and quality on the right..................

Not sure if it's just Manchester area but both 780 and 850 very glitchy to the point of being unusable worst the 780 has been in all the time I have had it.

Have even been advising friends no to buy in to it until it's a bit more stable. Something has changed in the Manchester 2 & 3 area but no idea what.

[cactikid]

check for area problems first?

QAM changed in Manchester 1, 2, 3 few days ago

well is this going to stop kv working properly in all areas?

[paultaylorpwt3]

Hi guys, whats the ideal signal strength ?
Iam getting in the region of 82 - 88 strength, maybe this is to much ?

[faflefevre]

82 to 88 signal is fine.

the change in qam has been happening all over the country for months now area by area and wont stop the box working.

if your area has changed from 64 qam to 256 qam (this is the reason the a790t suffered area by area)
the main reason for this change in qam is that more channels are now getting transmitted in hd and as hd carries more data hence the need for a higher qam to handle the larger compressed data.
so no the changes are not aimed at people with kv more to do with the fact that theres now more channels in hd so therefore require a higher rate of qam.
