    Hi all, im no newb to this area be all means but im stuck setting this kryptview a780 box up.

    1st off i have flashed the box and all that part of the process is done.

    I only have the internet from the virgin mary herself and so i have bought some RG6U cable, screwed F connectors and a 2 way splitter. I added the splitter and put the modem back into place and i cant get any internet connection what so ever. I have tried 2 splitters now and checked to make sure i hadnt snapped the copper wire inside the F connectors once i had connected it all up...Its just really confusing me as to why everytime i add a splitter my modem dies?

    I know the box needs both cat5/coax feed.

    But i cant get that far because when i add a 2 way splitter the modem doesnt pick up an internet connection.

    I basically have the VM box on the wall with 1 cable going from their, straight to the modem...i want to split this connection via the splitter and plug the modem into the splitter and the KV box into the other side of the splitter. But everytime i add the splitter and connect the modem it just flashes saying no internet?

    No internet...no KV :(

    should be enough to do the job, is the splitter working if you just try it feeding modem? if not get a new one

    Hi, ok i have sorted it now, i was chopping through the outer core of the coax then screwing the F connectors on (oops!)...

    So now i have everything up and running. I did the scan on telewesty is that right? because i only seem to have a few channels and the box freezes when i try going through the epg?

    might be splitter or low signal as internet does not need a strong signal and maybe capped and tv package should be higher.make sure all connections are good and tight.
    maybe scanning on wrong provider or net id will lose channels.what firmware is on box?
