Jumpy channel / long wait fix

[flashman]

Sossbaby gave this good advice previously in another post. I have an addition to make to it.

I would appreciate if an admin could sticky the post if they think its worth keeping at the top as I see it recurring frequently.

good evening.
go to the channel thats breaking up, press the info button twice and note the frequency.(eg 522.000mhz).
go to menu, instalation, user instalation, enter pin.
you will now see a list of frequencies.
scroll down to the frequency that you noted before. (eg 522.000mhz).
press green button. ch edit.
press blue button. modify.
useing the numbers on the remote add 0.5 mhz to the frequency. (eg 522.000mhz becomes 522.500mhz.)
press ok.
it will say please wait to save data.
press exit.
if the picture is now stable,all is well.
if the picture is better but still glitches go back and add another 0.5mhz.
if the picture is worse go back and subtract 1mhz.
hope that helps.
sossybaby.

My addition is that when you add or subtract the 0.5 Mhz look at how quick the quality bar comes back. The quicker it comes back, the better the signal meaning no breakup, and also less time for the channel to come on when flicking up or down.

All in all making the box function better.

Enjoy

Flashman.

Have you got the cable direct from the wall to your box while setting up, as splitters can interfere with the signal if not correctly fitted or are poor quality.

Suggest setting up with the cable direct.

Is this clever trick available for the Dbox? I have never noticed a method of adjusting the frequency via the on screen menu.
