jumping signal

[Speaky2]

any of you guys had a problem with a jumping signal? it keeps jumping up and down from about 75 to 90 and I cannot get it stable, I have tried a variable it helped a little but not as much as I hoped!

would be better if you said what box you have bro and software on it ect ect

Yes, I used to suffer it... When it wasnt constantly sticking on 8% it would be shooting up and down between 8% and 90%, sometimes causing certain channels to be unwatchable.. Wacking a bog standard cheapo Labgear TV booster on it cured it for me.. Signal stays rock steady on 80% now.. I can only assume it cleaned the signal, like stabilised it or summat, but it worked for me..

sorry guy I would help if I gave more details, its an EX5000 with the AU firmware first one withe out the autosort on it, I take it that the autosort is the only difference between them. which labgear model did you use mate you remember?

Cheers guys

The booster Im using is a labgear MSE113, but I would suggest any cheap sub 10 quid TV booster from Argos would do the same job just as well..

(just dont put it in line before your proper VM box or Modem, as it'll possibly prevent them talking back to VM, which they need to do, but your EV box doesnt.. So only put the booster on the feed just before your EV box)

hi guys, I tried the signal booster from argos and it just sent the signal through the roof, any more ideas because its getting to me now!......lol

Went through the roof? whats that mean... Do you get any channels at all on a scan.?? What is the actual problem you have ? All you've said is about your signal strength, but how is it effecting you ?? what problems ??

I am having a problem with my signal jumping up and down which is causing my picture to break up and say no signal I have tried a variable on it to see if I can stablize it but it never worked somebody said try a signal booster but that never worked the signal went too high and I got nothing at all so that's where I am up to!

Does your box have the option to swith its inbuilt booster off ?? Normally found in "TV Settings" worth a try, ... (or if its already off, try putting it on)
