I spoke to someone at mycablebox and also said to try it at someone elses house incase its a tv problem. They said that they would exchange it, but I've put on the non fta software so don't know if they take it back, might have to flog it for £100 - £120. I don't know if people notice the difference in picture quality, but whereas the sub box and sv1 box show more of a glossy picture the kv box shows a kind of matt picture like you looking through a net curtain. Why is it that I'm only having this problem, surely I'm not the only one to end up with a faulty box. What about this Saturation, bright and contrast setting on the kv box? has that been put there to compensate for the picture quality, as you can change all those settings on your tv. Maybe previous kv users are use to this picture quality or don't notice it much on smaller sd tvs.
ya have been advised what to do you are the only person with a problem either send the box back or try at another house as you are going around in circles here
unless you do what I, others and your seller has suggest, this is going no where, so you can summarise all ya want, so unless your going to bother doing what we suggest to do, yer wasting our time
I had a green hue around the presenters on MOTD last night. They all have very red faces. The picture looks very blurred to me. Have been playing with all the settings on both kv and tv. Aint got it right yet.
left box on power search last night, this morning box had default screen. tried to scan, taking ages to list networkid's, saying already exist. typical just before kick off.
did you already have your channels on your box before you put it on standby ?? if yes and you are still having probs do a factory default on your box menu installation factory default pin 0000 then turn the box off at the back for about 30 seconds then turn it back on auto scan your box making sure you have your correct provider leave the network as default press green button next screen you will get will be the list of net id make sure you have your correct one you can get this from your subbed box if you are unsure then press ok and let the box scan away
did this only happen or has it been like this since you got the box what you are saying sound to me like a faulty scart lead or bent pins on it try changing scart leades and put them in AV1 or EXT 1 only
I didn't have epg last night and some channels were scrambled, so I put it on power search mode. This morning clock was stuck on 0226 without decimal point. Switched off from back on again got default screen. did autoscan on tw network green button. 1 already exist and slowly reaches 10. Network scan finished message. pickups 11 channels only. in the channel list found some names for channels have characters where there should be letter. tried flash downgrade as I thought It might be memory corruption. did factory default, rescan, again the same. I've lost patiences with this box and I'm gonna take this box back to the supplier and throw it in there face. I'm now watching the game on sopcast. I'm seriously thinking of switching to SV6, I rather pay 100 every year than put up with this.
Only set it up yesterday, 'for a friend'. Spent all evening and this morning changing TV and box settings to improve the picture quality. Seeking the right combination of Contrast, Saturation, Brightness etc has taken ages. Still feel that the picture isn't as sharp as it should be, but maybe its just my aging eyes. Doesn't seem to be an obvious problem with the leads nor connection. They were the ones that were used until yesterday with a Eurovox box. The Eurovox seemed a little worse than the 10 year old V box used before, while the Kryptview seems a little worse than the Eurovox. However,it is conceivable that the leads are the problem. Only posted because I had the same problems as others with connectors in the box being unconnected and the remote being temperamental and occasionally unresponsive. Thought it might be worth posting to see if it flushed out others with problems. But, the epg is much better than Eurovox. The setting up was really easy, especially with the Tut too - Thanks to those on here! What a relief not to have to spend an hour putting individual channels into groups!
ok so I did factory default, rebooted box. did net scan, still comes up saying 1 already exists, etc slowly. Do i need the ethernet cable in when scanning?
I tried direct feed, I've done exactly as you've said. factory default, reboot etc. It still says 1 already exist and slowly gets to 10 then only scans 11 channels, a few fta and a few sub channels which all appear to work. It seems box has got into some loop, where its not clearing the list of net id's. I.e after factory default, I assume the box clears memory of netId's etc. I'm totally lost as what to do now. The thing is I'm ordering more boxes for friends and I cannot recommend this box from my experience.
is there someway of doing a hard reset? i.e. removing an internal battery etc. I'm using version 3.6.
when you are doing a full factory default do you then switch the box off at the back if not do that and then start again by what you are saying it seems to me that there is a problem with your cable feed or you are not scanning on your correct provider or you are trying to scan on ALL and not NETWORK
yes I do factory default, then switch it off and on again. Then go to auto scan select TW and press green button on network scan. This starts at 1 already exist, then goes upto 10 really slowly, then starts to scan and picks up only 11 channels. before I would get may be 1 exist then it would stream the net id and providers, but not now. I tried this without splitter using direct feed and with. It seems like something has bugged the box during power search mode. because as i said before some of the channel names have odd character eg. test 43 is now est 43 with t missing, also some have a % or ? or / where there should be a letter. I work with epos terminals and usually funny characters mean memory corruption. This could happen to others, so It may be worth speaking to developers, suppliers or contacts you know. This may be something that just happened to me, but what if this happens to others.
ok could be a faulty box you have i suggest you contact supplier as i have not seen any other reports
I tried downgrading the box, but hasn't helped either. my supplier is mycable box, so I don't know if they would take it back with ver 3.2 firmware on it, unless I say it did it automatically during power search mode.
