Just installed and scanned. I'm getting channels with good Quality & Signal readings (85%+) but . . . a) only 30 channels (& only some of these are displaying names) b) getting message "no or bad signal" (& occasional broken images) Normal TV is fine. Could my N*L still be too weak despite 85%? Any other possible problems? thanks Derry DVB-XC Box S TDA S/W 1.0.ST4 Oct 28 2008 H/W Ver 2.0t S Bootstrap V001 S/W Build KURO Location: N*L in Dublin
Your signal maybe a little too high, try a variable attenuator You can get them here > http://beststuff.co.uk/coaxial_accessories.htm
Thanks for your suggestion HiTeck, I've just tried the variable Attenuator (on the "wall" side of EX1000SL)- alas no effect - still getting "no bad signal". Another thought - might my N*L input have to be digital? I have no reason to suppose it is - as far as I know its just analogue. Cheers Derry
we've been having some bad weather as of late..check outside to see if the cover on the grey/brown box is intact and no water penetration has occurred..also,unscrew connection on inside wall and rescrew back in....the eurovox 1000 has a built in signal booster,so oneof the best boxes for picking up frequencies on the market...if your getting bbc1 etc,then signal problem shouldnt be an issue,especially if your getting 85%!hopeb this helps
Have you tried a deep scan? when you say signal strength is 85%+ what do you mean, is it fluctuating on each channel or is it steady, a signal over 85% can cause problems for the eurovox just the same as too lower signal. Edit scandalou, Max V/ex1000 sl/ex51000 all have/had signal boosters in the menu, too higher signal causes problems so the signal booster wouldn't come into play here especially at 85%.
Many thanks HiTeck & Scandalou, I'll revisit the scene tomorrow and clarify the symptoms I'll also try the box in a neighbour's house Cheers Derry
