hi folks, im relatively new to all of this so any help appreciated.
ive recently set up a digivox t in kilkenny, have over 100 channels but more than often the picture is breaking up and the sound also, every couple of seconds even. sometimes its 100% perfect, i cant seem to get to the bottom of this, ive checked all connections and made sure my aerial is good and steady. level is at about 88% and quality varies from high 50% to low 70%.
can anyone please shed some light on this for me please.
cheers

This is either a signal problem or a faulty tuner.I would advise
you if there is a possibility of borrowing a box from someone that
works and try it on your signal.The new tuners on the Digivox T by
and large are better than the older versions and so is the firmware.
But alas I have come across a few faulty ones.

more then likely a signal problem, did you install ariel or is a proper chorus ariel, your signal strength should be at least 80 or above to receive without breaking up, have you line of sight to transmitter!
Get out of that garden!

Tomhick02 is correct. I have found that unless the both the Signal and quality is above 80% then you run into problems. Even at 70% I will start to lose channels

ive just swapped boxes with someone. mine works perfect in their house but my tv is still breaking up like mad with their box.the only difference i can see is that level has shot up to 99% and quality down to about 55%. it seems that my box is fine as its perfect in the other house, im starting to wonder about the downconverter, could this be faulty? what do they do or how do you test them? skywonder sell downconverters but it does not look exactly the same as mine..... and no i do not have a clear line of sight to transmitter just a ditch and a house in the way. its a proper chorus aerial i installed myself. this is doing my head in, its breaking up so bad you could not possibly look at it so any help is appreciated folks.

its your signal thats causing it not the box, it sounds to me that your aerial is not lined proper or that the signal is shite, with signal down to 55 will cause major break up

ok ive just put my own box back in. level is at 87%, and quality is at an average of 64%, varying from 60 - 70%. still breaking up terrible. the box i borrowed is from a house 200 yards down the road and theirs is perfect, so in my eyes that eliminates that signal in the area is crap. i cant get any better by tweeking the aerial, do you reckon i should just keep trying? thanks for reply

coupe seen youre problem recently , and like you tried everything except the power supply then we changed it for the old style chorus ones which are 24 volts it worked a treat i am 99% certain its youre power supply,those new ones are crap they seem to work ok if you have a strong signal in youre area,
good luck...........
