    You can get fairly cheap ones in Maplins, just ask for a digital tv rf booster.


    Have you updated your SV lately and have you tried it from the main feed

    Are these b0xes genuine . cos if they are clone v4 will kill them

    You will get a problem if you are using a splitter and the signal is not strong enough , so try it from your main feed ( Living room etc )

    I believe they are clones mate, had a few though, firmware was already on, had no problems, apart from trying to install the one I am talking about......

    Regarding the main feed mate, the brown box it a the front of the house, but the living room is at the back of the house, thats why there is such a long run of cable from the main feed....

    Any ideas would be appreciated.....

    You will need to know if you have a clone or genuine

    Count the vents on top

    18x7 = Clone
    25x7 = Genuine

    Also you can go here to see some pics

    You will need version 4.00 firmware for GENUINES found in "Starvi*w" firmware folder.
    You will need version 2.57_FIXED firmware for CLONES found in "Starvi*w" firmware folder.

    Defo clones mate, with 4.0 firmware......

    Mate had one a while now as well, no bother...

    But that would not affect my ongoing problem though would it mate???

    It sure would , and you deffo need to take v4 off and put the 2.57_FIXED on them or they wont last much longer
