LincSat I tried your image on my Sagem DB2 and most channels worked fine but a few including Sky Sports 1 and 2 and Front Row channels are scrambled (start off slightly viewable but then the picture starts going crazy). Is this normal or did I do something wrong?

Are they pixelating, if so that sounds like a signal issue - what's your box like with other images?

I tried it with the Don v2 and a few more channels scramble up. By scrambling up I mean the image appears to keep moving down the screen constantly and speeding up until it looks like stripes running down the screen.
Don't know what the problem could be.

Press red then blue and check out the SNR - it really wants to be over 60000

It sounds like you have a signal issue, check your cables are well connected, if you have an extra splitter in the line try removing it. You may have to consider trying a booster.

Yeah I'm actually using a couple splitters. Got one between a DBOX and a chipped n*l and one for broadband. You got a link to one of those boosters you were talking about? I could only find terrestial TV boosters.

Thanks.

Try without all the splitters first, cable feed straight to d-box to check that that works. You could then try changing things around, using different outputs from the splitters for the d-box.

If you need a booster, many people have reported success with slx boosters (make sure it's without a tetra filter) If you get the booster from Argos you can return it within 16 days for a refund if it doesn't work.
