Eurovox Max 2008 Freezing Signal Dropping Out

[s1gar]

hi all
i invested in a eurovox max 2008 with the september update. i am running it on v***in m**ia with the basic package and broadband internet. now i removed the splitter from the outside box and installed the box. now the picture keeps freezing and displaying no signal. for the odd moment its on it works a treat. i have read that the signal may be too strong! where can i get hold of a attenuator quickly if i need one and is there a possibility the signal is too weak? also i notice maplin do a attenuator with coax connectors can i add a couple of coax adaptors as i have f connectors. any help would be brillant as this is really doing my head in and it nearly ended up through the window.

cheers

I seem to remember posts in one of the forums here where someone had problems when altering the cable splitter outside his house - it may help you if you find it.
I have such a splitter on my house for upstairs. I set up my eurovox max 2008 downstairs by having just this box connected (disconnecting my original box) and following the supplied instructions then using a good quality splitter having both boxes connected and switched on. Ive had the eurovox running for almost 2 months with no problems. I reconnected my old box because I think VM can detect its presence (or lack of it).
Hope this helps

Cheers

i have just remembered as well. the signal strength is 70%-80% max. when it freezes and drops out it shoots down to around 5%. i had a 6dB attenuator and when i put this on the signal got slightly better i think. i have tried everyway doing full power searches with every conbination i.e. no splitter outside, with splitter outside but diconnected broadband, with splitter outside and everything connected. someone please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi give this a try as it worked for me to much signal can also cause problems press menu button scroll to tv setting's see if the signal booster is set to on this setting is only avalible if you have the Kuro beta 2 software installed if not why dont you update it to the newest Kuro beta see if this helps .
