Hi I was wondering if anyone had any ideas to solve my problem. I recently bought 4 eurovox boxes to run alongside my broadband.

Running 1 plus the broadband was no problem but as soon as connected the other 3 using a konig splitter i lost sky sports. I thought it must be a low signal problem so bought a slx four way booster with adjustable gain put this after a two way split with the broadband and disaster most channels are now breaking up.

Tried the main feed into the booster with a tv/data isolator and the eurovox boxes work perfectly but the broadband wont work through the booster. Ive spent all day messing around with it instead of enjoying the sunshine.

Anyone Please Help!

My first thoughts on this are that you might just be asking a bit too much running 4 boxes and broadband ...do you need to be running all that at the same time ?

i would be checking your cabling and splitters as i run 2 modems and 3 boxes on one feed no problems @ all with no amps or anything like that is it cable std cable you have or any other cable you are using also is the splitter a gd one ie same as what vm use

Hi the splitters and cable ive bought are all supposed to be high quality. It appears the booster wont even run one box properly when the broadband is on. I had 3 boxes plus the broadband working with just a normal konig splitter only sky sports was breaking up.

Could it be the booster is boosting the wrong frequencies as when i now use the broadband the picture on all the boxes go jumpy.

Forgot to say the signal levels for the affected channels are all good around 84% tried a 15db attenuator but lost most channels , also tried adjust the mhz up and down on the affected transponders but no joy

Thanks
