Is it possible to be running too many boxes in the house? My mate is running 2 EuroVox's and a Starview in his house and one of the Vox's is very choppy and keeps going off with the error message "No or bad signal". His broadband also, wont lock on to static which is his main cuase for concern.
Someone suggested that it could be the boxes causing too much noise and the modem cant find the correct channel, although when he unplugs them all it still doesnt lock on to the web. Any ideas greatly appreciated

.

Thanks

He has a "white box" in each room with a Vox coming out of it i.e. not the one terminal with 3 boxes split off it.
