Default Stop Your V+ Rebooting

Easy and simple way i found to stop that annoying reboot problem with your V+ box with a return path blocker, so no need to cut talkback via tracks inside.
I came up with an idea and this was because since i fitted my blocker my box restarted approx 4 times a day, some members reportedmore on other forums.
So what i did was, instead of putting the talkback blocker direct onto the box and then the feed in after it as you do, i placed my blocker at the exit point from my splitter.
See pic, since this i have not once had the box go off in 13 days since i did it.
And before any questions, Yes talk back still is disconnected even thou technically the blocker is facing opposite way, tested with a modem also

3_7 update seems to of stopped this rebooting problem on the V+, its not only modded ones that do this vermin are well aware of this problem!

Only problem is theyve stopped rolling 3_7 out!!

The features of these boxes are great but the responsiveness and gereral operating are a fookin nightmare and its no wonder theyve given the new V+ contract to Samsungeven the old pace 1000 is a better box
