Picture Quality Poor When I Loop The Back Of The Box - Techwatch: Satellite TV forums, FTA, Cable, Hardware, & Tech forums

grazza1010 · 24-11-07, 12:16 PM

When I have the back of the box looped so I can have both my terrestrial and premium channels on my 3 TV's, the quality of the picture becomes quite poor. If I take the loop out, the picture is perfect on the premium channels.
Is there anything I should look at or setup so that I can keep the loop in and have all the channels on all my TV's????

Rather desperate here guys, any help would be greatly appreciated.

as mentioned in previous thread did you make sure you moved the output channel of the eurovox out of the range of the terrestrial channels ?

Thanks for the reply, I tried what was mentioned ie move the output to 68.
It didnt seem to make any difference.
Ill try again tonight, to make sure it saved it when I did it.
Any other ideas though???

If I try to change the output, then how can I tell what the terrestrial channels are on???
For example, I was advised to change the output on the eurovox from 40 to 68, but this made no change, so how do i select what to change it to and not clash with the terrestrial channels???

PS, the terrestrial channels are ok, not great, but ok, whereas the premium channels are really pooor.......lots of lines accross the screen.

It looks like the problem I have is that the settings wont save for me.
When I go into the settings I take it that I want to go into MENU>CONFIG>TV SETTINGS>UHF Channel and change it from 40 to some other value, problem is once i scroll down to UHF channel and press OK, it brings up a table at the side and once I scroll to the value I want I press either left or right button and nothing happens and when I select the red button to save or the blue button to save and exit, then nothing is happening. I go out and right back into the menu and nothing has changed......still says 40.
Am I looking at the right settings here? Im begining to wonder????

Sorry for this to drag on guys, but any help is most appreciated, thanks!!!!

when you find the value you press the ok button to change not the L or R ....

grazza1010 · 27-11-07, 11:07 AM

I take it then that if I press OK, then go back into the menu, then it always reverts back to 40?
I can never get the value to change in the left hand side of the screen, it always says 40 there.

Are you saving the information by pressing the blue button before you exit

i had a similar problem on a starview box, you need to change the uhf output system to PAL-I for uk use, i think it may be on PAL-B as dedault but uk uses PAL-I
