have a eurovox max v box, and the channels suddenly started to break up freeze. did the update to the codes from bigmaq, but still no joy! tried to re scan but the signal kept jumping from 80% down to 3% . so the box was unable to get a proper lock on the channels. suffice to say am left with no channels at all!! has anybody got any idea's or has my box bitten the dust??

cheer's all!

the latest firmware for the max v does not have the signal booster option

mr blik
your probable cause is as suggested by marky 811 a cable connection problem, remove any splitters etc and double check all connectors

Does the EX500PVR have the signal booster option as I am also getting signal jumping problems on that box especially ESPN channels and any other on freq 227
