                happy new year all...downloaded & installed the file etc, but pic still seems to be freezing from time to time, signal & quality strength appears to be strong. Is this because the SV6 has run its course? Is this the case for others???Particulary seems to happen during big football matches and peak viewing hours...thank you in advance.

                  Depends what you mean "appears to be strong". Make sure all
                  co-axial TV cables & connections are good. Poor signal is usual
                  cause of freezing. If you don't pay TV subs your signal may be
                  weak. Check everything & post back signal strength & quality
                  Downloading on PC while using box will cause freezing

                    thank you EAMO2, when i press info on remote, the s bar highlighted in blue is 95% full, likewise the q bar in green is 95% full, i am not paying any tv subs, will this make any difference seeing that the s&q seem ok?

                    'Make sure all co-axial TV cables & connections are good'...what does this mean, apologies for my technophobiness

                    thanks you in advance

                      coaxial cable brings you the signal,if its old or has bad connections it will give problems.

                        Can someone pls advise;my SV6 box continues to have a mind of its own, sometimes ok for hours & at others freezes every other 2 minutes...SO ANNOYING

                        i have downloded the Oct sware update...when i press info on remote, the s bar highlighted in blue is 95% full, likewise the q bar in green is 95% full, Does this mean the co-axial TV cables & connections are good? i've checked them & they seem ok

                        i am not paying any tv subs, will this make any difference seeing that the s&q seem ok? Or is it that the sv6 has run its course? if so,any advice on better products out there without these glitches would be most welcome

                        thank you in anticipation

                          If your signal & quality are 95% your connections are fine. When
                          picture freezes check signal levels. As already said downloading
                          on PC will cause picture freezing. Check SYST INFO to make sure
                          it shows S/W version Carling 1.03. Does picture freeze mostly
                          while live matches are shown or at other peak viewing times
                          If signal increases during freezing you could try a variable
                          attenuator(about ?5) to stabilise signal
                          Kryptvu A 780 is a better box but I'm not going to guarantee you
                          won't have any freezing if you buy a new box. Check out your
                          current situation first & see if you can pinpoint times or causes of freezing. If signal levels are low during freezing you may have
                          to pay basic TV subs. Post back with details

                            EAMO 2 many thanks again, your time is much appreciated, when pic freezes/scramble screen the s&q remain the same (95% full), this i take it is the green & blue bar when pressing info on the remote?

                            To confirm there is no downloading taking place at the time, carling 1.03 has been installed,

                            freezing seems to occur more during peak hours & during 'big' matches. e.g when Man Utd played Arsenal week before Xmas the picture froze every other minute, although there are supposedly off peak times when the box does sometimes freeze, having said all that however, the box is working fine during this evenings iive game..so in a nutshell i guess it is during busy viewing periods that the box tends to freeze, Is there a remedy for this? Does the Kryptvu A 780 freeze as much? Would subscribing to basic virgin tv package make any difference?

                            thank you in advance

                              The picture is good for to-nights match because not as many
                              watching. You don't need to pay basic TV subs with levels 95%
                              You could try a variable signal attenuator (about ?5) & lower
                              signal strength to 90%, see would it stop freezing. KV A780
                              doesn't freeze as much but there were several posts last night
                              saying KV freezing. Think we might ask Cactikid would he give
                              guarantee KV won't freeze
