Eurovox and splitter probs - Techwatch: Satellite TV forums, FTA, Cable, Hardware, & Tech forums

Im using a Eurovox Max 3 and im trying to get it to work with a splitter so i can keep my ntl box hooked up aswell, problem is i cant get a signal on either box with the splitter connected. I used a pure signal to scan the eurovox and it works fine on its own.
Any help would be great.

I would check the cable connections are on correctly.

Thank you, just checked all connections and there was a few strands of copper wire touching the cable, removed them and hey presto works a treat.

I havent for the last month, but that doesnt mean its safe not to. Everyone i know uses one & i was a bit worried not using a splitter. I was told that they ping the receiver and if it doesnt answer back they investigate, how true that is i dont know. Better safe than sorry.
