Jerkey/Crackerling Channels...85%+ Signal?

[PIMP-KHAN]

Hi,

I've got a Max V 2008 box, with the 18/04 firmware on it. Ever since i updated my box with the latest firmware on it, most of the S*Y M*vies channels are crackerling, then it says 'NO SIGNAL' for a few seconds then it comes back on for a min, starts jerking, then NO signal again.

Its started to happen on the Sp**ts channels now and the discovery ones, even BBC 2 was ******* about yesterday when i was watching the snooker.

I've checked my signal strength and its on 80ish % and with the signal booter setting on it reachs 90+%.

after the update i backed up my cdf file and just reloaded that back on. should i try a power scan?

PLEASE HELP!!!

I had the same problem after installing the 18/04 firmware.
I solved it by reinstalling the firmware.
Strangely my channel data stayed intact so a new scan was not necessary.
It worked for me so it's worth a try.

how comes u didnt need to install the CDF file again?

pimp-khan... ive had exactly the same problem ....i only had my Virgin BB line installed 3 weeks ago .....B.B only but obviously i split the feed between the b.b and my EV Box.
Ive been so f***in fed up with pixcellation probs ...no signal msgs.... then picture stable for a few seconds ....then "here we go again "
I did run diags on my modem using the ip address 192.168.100.1 ..logged in ...checked downstream snr and power level.... they were at 34db and raning from -9 db to -12 db ....aparently this all points to a p*ss poor signal ...b.b has been ok but EV Box not.
Is yours a new line feeding into your house or been installed for a while ?? Also which booster did you try ??
Im just wating delivery of the Konig booster recommended to me on here by Shaun R ..its specifically desinged for catv/NTL

Thanks MancBoy...But i've just tried flashing the firmware and so far so good!

But my connection is directly into the box and one directly into the modem, no splitting.

the signal booster i tired was the one built into the box, which i enabled.

can you let me know how the Konig booster worked? Also try flashing your box again, worked for me so far.

but cheers

[PIMP-KHAN]

im using the 18/04/08 firmware.

The problems happening again. I flashed it with the 10/04 firmware and still the same problem!

Wats the fuks going on, caus this is just taking the total **** now. My signal are all good strength.

mines the same again..did you try the 192.168.100.1 ip address,log into your modem and go to downstream,check the levels below...mine are **** poor,hence why im getting that **** hot booster:-
Downstream Receive Power Level : -13.0 dBmVDownstream SNR : 32.8 dB

Have you tried the 21/04/08 Kuro firmware as it was designed to help people with this problem, I am sure it is in the download section.
