Freezing

[deano16]

Hi all,

Help needed!!

Myself, my dad and my cousin have all got skybox f3, and a sea lions are all from the same person, me and my dad are having no problems with freezing or anything but my cousin has just started having problems with it freezing quiet often!!

We only installed his dish last week and set the box up and the problem stated on wednesday night and has got worse since!!

I just can't work out what the problem could be!!

Any ideas anyone??

i would say the gift is sh!t3 and the server is overloaded which is known to happen, go back to the person you got it off.

also we cant talk about it in this forum

Process of elimination required:

Change of firmware, Channel list, check connections, Monitor broadband speed and ping they can all have an effect on what you describe.

Yeah digicon that's what i'm going to try next is the change of firmware and channel list!!

The connections are fine but i'll recheck them and i'll ask him to monitor the internet speed and ping, thanks for your reply, i'll post again when i've changed the firmware and channel list

How can the server be sh!t3 / overloaded when the other 2 people are on the same server with no problems? wouldn't these people have the same freezing problems as well?

no cause they might be using more than one s3rv3r one might be overloaded the other not.

ok, now you have narrowed it down to his setup, is it just the $ channels that are freezing/glitching or all of them?

If it's just $ channels then how is it connected to internet - wifi or ethernet cable?

If it's all channels then it's not an internet related prob and most likely low signal due to dish/cable/LNB

[jondalor]

it's almost deffinitly a signal problem, either dodgy connections, or more likely misallignment of dish, 1-2 mm off perfect would cause percisely the probs you have, get it checked with a professional meter if at all possible.

Disagree mate, no signal is LNB, cable dish etc, scramble, glitch is either a server issue or an ISP issue. If the other two boxes use the same provider then my guess would be the ISP.

Mate a ping and tracert to the server is required here. Any high ping times or timeout on tracert will cause glitching.

Mate who is the ISP where you are having the issues ?

I don't have issues. I'm trying to narrow down what the prob is for the OP.
