Channels info

[kevinmol]

I was just after some info i have all the plus one channels ie dave alibi gold but the proper channels are scrambled. someone said it was a weak signal but when i had the old boxes they all worked i thought only the decription came through the net and the signal through the cable any ideas? And if it is the signal my booster doesnt help

[Tech54]

You using a splitter m8, my old starviews were fine using a splitter, but played up when I got the Kview

[kevinmol]

Yes got splitter as you say starview had no probs the channels come on occasionaly but not guaranteed even when i use a signal booster just think its strange as my brothers works fine abou half mile away

[Tech54]

Have you tried without splitter, lots of ppl have had trouble with these boxes and splitters

[kevinmol]

will do as soon as i can gotta wait till the missus is out probably in the next couple of will let you know the outcome

gotta wait till the missus is out

You henpecked m8

[kevinmol]

this is strange i have just sorted my daughters room and she can get all channels but mine downstairs doesnt also cannot try without splitter coz it spilts to modem and kv

[barrowmanandrew]

check all your connections downstairs.
ie cable feed into back of box..

or take your downstairs box upstairs and scan, see what channels you get.....

[kevinmol]

tried swapping boxes the one from downstairs gets all channels upstairs the other one that was getting all lost them all connections are sound just have to get used to the missing channels spose not a major problem but strange all the same

[kevinmol]

another wierd one when i added a signal booster after a while the channels appeared not watchable badly pixellating but strange again dont you think

[barrowmanandrew]

well you must have a bad connection on the cable from your splitter to your downstairs box.

scan the box upstairs so that it picks up all the channels, then move box downstairs see ifd it works...

[Tech54]

If both boxes work OK, must be either signal or splitter, my setup is cable into 2 way splitter, from there feed KV box and 4 way splitter which provides Subbed box basic package, sons box upstairs which is not working SV2.
Tried origanally to connect just using 4 way splitter but couldnt watch some of the channels Sly Sports especially.
Alls OK now after change.

[smirnoff_rules]

some things not right , as above has to be connection .. tunes are good on these boxes

[DW190]

I'd bet its a cable or even splitter thats causing the loss.

Where it splits for your modem try switching the cables, if its still the same try switching the outputs of the splitter or a different splitter if you have one.

[barrowmanandrew]

this is easy to work out.
forget the booster, you shouldnt need it.

on your splitter swop the outputs for upstairs and downstairs.

if problem moves to upstair box
then your splitter is faulty.

if problem stays on downstair box,
then your splitter is working and its the cable from splitter to downstair box that causing the problem...

do you follow

just as dw has pointed out in prevous post.
