Hi all , from my previous post, i,m still having problems with all the set**ta channels. Keeps on saying NO SIGNAL , or the screen very pixelated. Tried everything possible i.e powerscan, adjusting frequency. Cable all good direct from the outside box, with no splitters. Tried signal booster no good, every other channal is good with 76-78% quility/freq...but se**nta only on 69%.
I'm in the ilford area(essex) with a frequency of 234.000 Mhz.
Any help would be gladly appreciated, as this is driving me mental, thanks in advance.

sounds like you need the juice turning up in the cabinet in your street. i had the same problem when setanta was using the 395.000 frequency, i just rang them and told them my modem kept going offline (which it did) and they fixed it

How and who do i call up to turn up the signal? And as isaid i tried everything else , so you might be right. And thanks .

Would i need to call virgin to boost up the street signal in my area, as my cable line used to be ex cable & wireless, and would there be any problems , calling them ,as i,m not with any providers?

you would have to say your modem keeps going off or something similar or your digibox keeps jumping and skipping (providing you have a subscription for either of these) if you dont then there isnt a lot you can do

Have no subscription for cable, but (modem) i believe it's broadband, would i need to call tiscali( broadband provider) ?

you really need to be paying minimum subs for a virgin service mate, calling them to ask them to turn up the juice without a service is asking for trouble.try a cheapo signal booster.
