Is it true that a signal can be too strong ? I can see the grn box from my house but im in flats with many v##### subscribers and the feed is split beetween pc and box . how would you know if the signal was too strong ?

You will get freezing and/or pixelation on some channels. Around 80-83% is plenty. Any more and you will need an attenuator. Press info button twice to get signal strength and quality.

signal is at 80 to start with and stayed like that for amonth . Suddenly it dropped to 8 and pixelates . Tried it in a friends house and while it stayed at 8 i could get apicture and sound . Strange cos i get av for a while and then it gives up the ghost .

yes, i had to go into my brown box on the wall outside. I removed aload of them Forward Path dongles before my TV stopped pixelating, i also got my 20mb net speed too. I was only getting 9-11mb before and bad pixel TV

This can happen while using the firmware that came out before Kuro, try upgrading it to the full Kuro and see if that makes it better. I haven't tried the beta because I really don't want to put something on the box that isn't a full release.
