Yep had the same problem on a Max V I had I tried everything like you and ended up sending it back to my supplier for a replacement. Seems more like a tuner fault or maybe a cap problem. But as you can see most new Max Vs carry a warranty sticker at the back and if you break them your warranty is void, believe me I tried

Ive e-mailed Lincsat, to see if i can take it back over the weekend! Its annoyed me as i wanted to watch the fight!

Also last weekend the lcd screen on the front went a bit strange!

Thankyou for your help!

I am sure the manufacturers are aware of this problem and no doubt Lincsat will look after you.

I'm not sat here 24/7 M8 - it just seems like it sometimes

E-mail sent.

[mixin247]

Haha, no worries. Yeh got your e-mail. Will drop it round later!

Dad says he has the same problem aswell, so im gonna try the october 15th software to see if it sorts it? If not could be a dodgey batch of eurovox maybe?

[lincsat]

No one else has reported the same problems - could your cable feed have been disconnected or even been dropped to a lower signal?

I have pretty much an identical problem... 99% of all my channels are 8% signal strength, im splitting off my broadband feed using an official n*l splitter. I use a mains signal booster (cheapo from argos), the signal is still only at 8% but it enables me to view most channels trouble free. The only channels I struggle with with are S*y Sports1, S*y Action and a few others ones.

I'd like to try and sort this problem out because it's quite annoying, do us a favour mixin and please let us know how you get on with it all.

By the way the receiver im using is in the Nottingham (West Bridgford) area.

One last thing does any 'expert' () on here know if these are any use for the Eurovox. h*ttp://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270191509969 (probably just displayed my compete lack of knowledge of the whole tv/satellite/cable scene.)

Thanks in advance.
