Sky Sports 2 glitching then no or bad signal - Techwatch Support Forums: Digital & Satellite TV, FTA, Cable, Computers, Mobile Phones, Apple and General Tech Forums

Hello all, I wonder if you could help me, at the moment my sky sports 2 is very glitchy and a message comes up 'no or bad signal' every 30 seconds or so. It's been happening for ages which is strange as all the other sports channels are perfect. I've tried reseting my modem, router, also tried different splitters and connect directly to the modem but nothing seems to be working. I've the latest update and everything on box, done factory resets and rescanned. Previously turning the box and internet on and off worked and the channel was fine for a while but then the problem kept happening a day or so later.
I've tried taking the box round to another persons house and the channel works fine there but as soon as I take it home it's back to glitching so i'm pretty certain it's a problem my at my end. Any help would be appreciated as I can't seem to find out what the problem is.
I've a vm basic package, 10 meg connection if that info is any help.
Thanks

It s probabaly a feed problem, I have had it a few times with my s/view box, take the main feed out and try and tighten it on a bit more, that uaually solves the problem...

Try it without any splitters to get the strongest signal possible.

sky sports1 is very bad and has been recently glitchs freezes and scrambled message think it will be fixed soon, though we all know we have been having a poor service for a while now, can't dispute that fact.
