Kryptview a780 Nightmare

My Krptview a780 is barely watchable due to frequent glitches. It freezes then it shows "scrambled or no video". It will then come back maybe after about 1 minute. I timed to check how often it does and it is happening every 2 minutes. I am getting all the channels but they are barely watchable. Is there something that needs to be done to my box or maybe it has seen its better days. I have done several factory resets and rescans but the problem remains.
It is driving me nuts. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Have a look here might be similar http://forums.afterdawn.com/t.cfm/f-59/ss2_unwatchable-948915/ Not to many people saying similar as cactai said, so problem maybe at your end.

moved to correct forum due to poster's blindness as not a "receivers & amplifiers" issue.

some glitching has been reduced by fitting one of these.

Yes its the same thing NTL engineers use when the cable signal is too high.
I doubt it fixes the issue with the kryptview though.
Its more likely to be an ethernet issue is it not?

Oh well i bow to your superior knowledge but i would have thought like a bad c-line connection thats what causes the glitches not receiving the encryption decode quickly enough that causes the glitching or an overloaded processor, wireless interference thatgs why i always use a hard ethernet link. Soon as the house portable phone was used the wireless signal would just go haywire causing the scrfeen to glitch like mad and its not just phones , microwaves etc are just as bad thats why wireless is a bad choice but i digress.

A woman drove me to drink and I never even had the courtesy to thank her.
