starview 4 usb problem with most channels

hi, haveing trouble with my starview 4 usb. most of my channels ave become pixelated and jump and make popping noises. ive done a factory reset a few times and re scanned but that hasnt helped and ive also left it switched off at the back and still no joy. would it help if i re flashed with the same firmware which is currently 1.07? im on telepest. any help apreciated. thanks

 

Have you got a splitter on the line? If so remove it and connect the box directly to the feed coming in,

What signal level have you got? its usually the signal that causes this, to low or to high,

signal of 70 or slightly higher is about right.

 

hi, i have no splitter on the line. as for the signal it says the level is 64% on itv which is 1 of the affected channels and it says the signal quality is 99%

 

yeah its your signal thats causing it, to low mate.

Are you paying a sub from a provider or have one of their boxs?? such as Virmin box? if you have, ring them and complain that the pic is breaking up or if you arent paying for a sub of them, you may need a booster on the line as the signal is low,

 

ive just checked the signal strength on a channel that is workin fine and the signal is only 58%. i do have a vm box and thats working fine

 

the SV is it another room or far from where the pipe comes into the house?

 

it is literally 1mtr away. ive just had a quick flick thru and all the channels that are working fine seem to only ave 58% signal strength

 

its deffo your signal strength, ring virmin and complain about chan break up, they may send someone to look at it, when they come remove the box.

 

ok thanks for your help. also would you happen to know why a starview 2 clone would ave stopped picking up channels when i do a search. also on tw. not picking any sports channels up at all and numerous other channels missing. even itv and bbc etc are missing

 

the box in the same house?

 

no its my mates

 

ya do know there was a key roll in the UK and if the box hasnt got the autoroll firmware on it, it wont roll with the new keys, the last working file for the The BOX was V4.57 which fixed the keyroll isses, now there has been outages in the UK also

 

yeah he been putting the keys in manually. should i just tell him to get his hand in his pocket and get a new 1? also ive just realised that there is a splitter on my line for my broadband but even when i connect it direct to my sv it doesnt make a difference. made it worse infact.

 

just contact virmin mate and complain about the signal, well if his box is working by entering in the other things and it works well, then why change

 

yeah his box works fine. just doen't pick up many channels wen he does a search. think he's only gettin about 30 channels

 

Is this problem in ireland or uk. The reason i ask is i have the same problem with my kryptview box only started today. When we lost the sports channels etc. the last time shortly after my old starview box went like this before we lost the other channels. Could this be the full implementation of the dreaded nagra 3..........


PS i'm in ireland

 

this problem is uk mate

 

got a signal booster and now all channels working fine. only problem now is my broadband wnt work. any 1 any ideas? my broad band cable is connected to the booster aswel as the tv cable.

 

Seem to remember having same problem. Use a spiltter so the broadband comes directly from the wall point rather than though the booster.
