hi guys,

I have come to a point now with my eurovox all the signal problems ie skipping and jumping, that I have tried everything and I mean everything that you guys have suggested so I have bit the bullit and phoned N*L and they are sending an enginner out to me!!!! I was just wondering if any or you had any experiance with them comming out and seeing your handy work with the splitters and cable? and what do you think is the best thing I cam say when he comes? obviously my boxes will be nowhere to be seen but I was gonna test the water and throw him £20 if he can sort it because I was under the impression it could be a week signal?

you should remove all trace of your "handy work" m8, all splitters and cables youve put in and just say your having probs with your subbed box flickering and your broadband keeps losing connection.while the blokes their ask him if he can get any dodgy boxes lol,if he says yes then explain too him your true problems lol

I dont have BB just phone and tv, I have a splitter going to my living room and then the other to my bedroom, I was gonna tell the guy that I put the splitter in so I could unplug the box and take it upstairs to watch tv! good eh? man this eurovox is unwatchable now picture well and truly *****!

I would consider getting an amplifier for the bedroom from Argos - if it doesn't work you can return it within 16 days for a refund.

The SLX variable gain amp was widely regarded as good for your needs, if they still stock it

make sure you are using correct cable, if you using normal aerial cable than the signal is weak.

Why dont you get your box as close to the cable box on the wall & ur tv and see if it improves.If so your splitters/cables are messed up!
