starview 4 the box super usb few channels have gone off how to fix

hi e45...its a cable feed.

 

is there any specific channels you want a reading for ?

here are some random ones

ss4 level 57% quality 98% }
bbc2 level 62% quality 98% } all unwatchable
sky1 level 63% quality 99% }
british eurosport level 55% quality 98% (this is almost perfect and only get the odd block every so often)

 

ok i presume its the starview 4 you have what version firmware do you have it falshed with? V1.07, V1.09, V1.12, ect..

 

hi
its starview 4 the box super usb with s/w 1.12

 

did you try a fresh flash with V1.12
1 was looking on another forum earlier and chap done a reflash and got a few channels back
but never said if he tried a factory reset first!

 

no i havent hooter007
the thing is all the channels are there just terrible picture?

 

did you check if any cables leads are loose in tv or box, or try box on a different tv in other room
if that dont help try a reflash
EDIT
check with a different scart lead aswell

 

i have changed the box to wall cable and the scart is ok because it plays perfect uff the usb stick.
is there a link for details on how to reflash etc?
my mate is coming round now and he has a variable attenuator?? he said it may work?
cheers

 

here is the only guide unless you look over the posts for the past 12 months GUIDE HERE
firmware for box in HERE
feck there maybe a guide on page 1 of this post
if you are stuck on any part ya know where we are
dont forget you may need "winrar" or "winzip"

 

i will see what happens with this attenuator thing fist!

 

ok
this is wierd.
i conected the variable attenuator 0-20dB to the back of the cable box and put the cable in it.
same results. so we moved the red button thing around at the back and it went worse and a bit better depending on how far i turned but it was never watchable.
so i took it off and just put the cable back in and by chance turned it on playhouse disney as the kids were mithering for it and it was working , so i tried the other channels and they were all working , maybe 2 or 3 blocks evry 20-30 seconds so i thought "bingo its working". i decided to rescan as i thought this my get the perfect picture back but it was just same so i thought ok , its 100 times better than it was. so i left the kids watching handy manny and by the time i got back downstairs 5 minutes later it was back to square 1 , unwatchable!
how can this be? i just dont understand!

 

could your cable be cut somewhere or cracked ect..

 

i replaced with a new one because i thought that might be why.
should the attennuator be plugged in the back of the box?

 

should that not be on the wall with cable going into it and cable going from it to box then, not 100% sure myself!
also is box the same in downstairs room?

same room yes.
there i only a metre from the box to the wall

 

id try a reflash again
if no joy try your box in a friends neighbours
link and guide for reflash >>>>> LINK <<<<<

 

you need the best part of a 70 /80 % signal for the channels to stay other wise you will slowly lose them again and again

 

hi e45
is that signal level or quality?
also have you read what happend before?

 

living and ss4 are perfect so how come some a clear but most are unwatchable?


edit: and living+1 and livingit , itv2 , itv+1 are perfect
