2 boxes

[tsattar]

I've recently brought another kryptview A780 for another room in the house. But only 1 box seems to work at a time.

I have 100mb BB with VM.

Any ideas??

[gary229]

do you have signal to both ? there shouldn't be a problem. are you using homeplugs?

[tsattar]

One of the boxes is connected right next to the router, and the other in the room above so I have just connected Ethernet cables from the modem running to each.

switch the one off which was working, im thinking you aint got a feed to upstairs. Do you have fta channels upstairs?

[tsattar]

The one upstairs is the original one, when the new one is connected it switches the one upstairs off completely. No FTA, just "no or bad signal"

[cactikid]

both boxes need a good signal and lan connection to work,how good is your coaxial and splitter?

[princewmk]

You need an extra splitter to connect them both... the splitter will go to the vm tv splitter connector already there. I think a 4 way one would be ideal!

I've got a pretty novice set up using coaxials and a 4-way splitter I had lying around.

The main feed comes in off the the wall and into the splitter, that then splits to the modem (Equivalent of VM super hub) and now the two boxes.

I echo needed a new splitter, I'm having at this one, what do you think?

Brought something very similar to the above but when connected, the modem doesn't work!!

Help please

UPDATE:

I've used the original splitter to connect to the modem so then used a coaxial off that to the new splitter/booster which then connects to the two boxes.

Not ideal because the picture glitches but a temp fix til I can find a permanent one!!

You might find that you didn't need the amplifier after all mate. I have 2 KV's indoors one up in thr bedroom one down in the living room n all I needed was that bad boy in the picture. The amp is important but in this occasion it's an optional choice but that splitter did the trick for me

[princewmk]

Am sure you have a 2 way splitter from vm but adding another 2 way on the one u already have will not work as it should in my experience. Remove the lot and stick a 4 way set feed and Voila!

Thanks princewmk!! I think I'll be getting one of them and take the load that I have on now, off.

At least I'll know it works rather than guessing. Thanks again
