bad coax connection on starview

[maza87]

hi all, had a starview for about 4-5weeks, has all been working fine, except for every other day, it goes off/scrmbly, and i have to push the fitting on the coax in and hold it in, basically play around with it for fcuKin ages till it works again!!! i have tryed new f plug connectors and stripping the cable but still keeps going off , its quite damn annoying to say the least, any1 have any similier probs?

if in doubt get a new cable as old coaxial cables dont get replaced as new technology does,some people are using 20yr old coaxial,also make sure you have a good scart and fully pushed in.
what do you mean off?

[maza87]

the coax is about year or so old, black sattelite cable from, b and q, i tryed using the a-rated stuff which is given with virgin, same results, its a dodgy connection on the fitting converter that is on the end of coax that goes into the back of box, when i push this hard it works fine, clear as a bell, when i let go it goes off, no signal? i fiddle with it for abit and works fine, sometimes for a for days sometimes for a few minutes and have to repeat this.

Sounds like a dodgy power board m8, have a word with the guy you got it from .

dodgy power board in the box? i bought it from the box distribution in november

invest in more cable mate!!! or get a pro in!!!

try a different cable that has a tighter fit,if not it may be a connection inside,then it would need to be returned.

now its not working at all, just a solid (no signal) wounded, i have e-mailed the box distibution, i only have e-mail confirmations tho as proof of purchase, no receipts, any1 think that would be a prob? i have got the box and serial numbers etc, hopefully its just a straight forward replacement,..... i hope
