Default Starview 6 (picture quality levels)

Box running fine apart from a few channels, mainly ss2..... The quality level is showing low on this channel and others which are running on frequency 155, causing it to glitch making it unwatchable.....Can you not alter frequencies a little bit on individual channels like you could on the Eurovox... i.e alter it to 155.5mhz????

If not as anybody got any other ideas???

try to reduce the amount of white cable you are using or try removing any splitters you have. plug you starview in as close to the white box thats coming into your house as possible and see if its any better.

You can change the frequency from the manual tune, but generally when it's locked a small change doesn't make any difference.

Remove splitters, check cables & connections for kinks or loose connections. Shorten the cable if you have a lot spare or even change to a higher quality cable.
