ADDING ANOTHER BOX..DIFFERENT ROOM

[paulwill]

ive added another box, in bedroom, running through wifi dongle....box keeps freezing
and box downstairs goes off when box in bedroom is switched on at same time
any help please

Wifi dongle may be rubbish so try powerline extenders they are better.
Box downstairs going off as turning off or losing channels?
What type of lnb are you using single/dual/or quad and are you trying to split cable?

[paulwill]

single cable....usb wifi dongle.....box downstairs freezes, when box upstairs is on....box downstairs is on ethernet cable straight from router
they are both v8s openboxs.......

[paulwill]

think ive sorted it.....1 box needs 2 cables in...1 with loop line in
thanks for your help
cheers

single cable...

You can't run 2 boxes from a single satellite feed. Each box needs it's own feed from the LNB.

If you use the loop connector to feed another box they will interfere with eachother as each box sends 4 control signals to the LNB (hor/vert/hi/lo).
