    Hi, Signal is usually between 72-78 and quality is 58-68. Pretty sure cable isnt split as other channels are ok . Im subscribing to the broadband and tv package (virgin). Thanks for your replies

    Hi, Think i might have the older fw so iv just downloaded your latest one and will flash it again (thanks for uploading it )Scanning it brings up 2 in the bristol area and will go for the one you have in your guide(40970). Will let you know after flashing it

    thanks again

    You don't need to flash it again, just update to the latest Firmware over the NET - Menu Installation 0000 and go down to S/W Update and press OK, the job is done.

    a splitter will drop yer signal and bad cabling, so no point in buying a booster is the cable or splitter is causing it
