Are you scanning directly from the incoming feed?

i had it coming straight from the wall to the sv3....now i have a splitter from the wall to original virgin and to sv3..same happens either way i have it?

Could be a case of too high/low signal, have you thought of using a variable attenuator which has slope control, so you can manually attenuate the signal?

Basically allows you to adjust your signal strength until you attain the correct balance, have a look here http://www.beststuff.co.uk/coaxial_accessories.htm I am sure Lincsat also has some for sale.
