Default Have you ever heard out so stupid???

My mate picked up a Euro vox max V from me last night, I put latest firmware on and made sure all was well. About an hour or so later i get a phone call from him telling me his chanels are all jumpy! He takes the cover off and blows in the box, (why he done this i have no idea...lol) which belive it or not sorts this problem. I then tell him to do full power scan which he does and when the box is searching for signal, its stuck around the 30% mark. Again he blows in the box and the signal strength jumps up to 85%. WTF is going on???.....lolCheersWinka
