you could just try a longer pin length on the co-ax where it enters the box.

New M2 box now set up

you could just try a longer pin length on the co-ax where it enters the box.

I had tried that weeks ago when I recut and redone the cable connections. It just seemed it would stop working at random times on turning the box on.

Anyway got the new box delivered today and am setting it up. The other week when watching the football on BBC Scotland 28E I was getting a badly breaking up picture. With this new box I am getting nice strong signals again.

On 39E on the Diema/The Voice Tx - this was troublesome on the old box, sometimes no pic at all, other times pic break up with 60-70% ish quality. With the new box I am getting a strong 94% quality here.

The old box is now dead but it seems apparent the tuner circuitry or power provided to that part was on the wane and finally went.

The signal strenght guide on all receivers is sketchy at best.
All tuners are calibrated different and show wildly different readings.
Some tuners will break up on 35% qualitya nd others on 60%.
