Maybe the tuner has gone in it.

have you tried your box at someone elses house? Is your original receiver modded?

gji25 · 24-08-09, 02:11 PM

have encountered this problem before and is due to low signal strength.
the way to correct this is either to get your signal upped or beleive it or not use a sv2 or sv3 as they seem to work better with weak signals

i believe that, it seems the EV's like a nice strong signal to work properly...

you could try shortening your coaxial cable if you have excess slack any where...

the signal through coaxial degrades slightly over time... I've no idea if two years is enough to cause that to happen though...

also if you search for catv booster on ebay you should find two types, a silver one and a yellow on... apparently the yellow one is best...
