    Random glicthing on Solo SE V2

    I've just bought a Solo SE V2 with twin DVB-S tuners ViX 4.1.016 and have it set-up with Blue HD skin, Cross EPG.I have an external hard drive connected using ESATA

    The main problem I have since day 1 is that I see random glitching regardless of what channel I am watching. My old sky box never missed a beat in that respect which would lead me to think that dish setup is fine. On BBC for example I've checked signal strength and its saying 93% AGC 79% but I still see glitching. I see the glitches in both live and recorded video. I am beginning to think I may have a faulty box/Tuner as none of my friends with similar boxes see these glitches.

    Anyone any idea of what I can check or what info I can provide to help resolve the issue?

    Thanks for any help

    Both tuners have the same strength/AGC.
    I haven't checked which tuner I am on when I am watching TV. Does it change tuners depanding on channel or is that something that is set-up in the settings? Apologies for my ignorance but I'm new to this stuff

    Haven't tried anything really as I hadn't a clue what to try. The box is 2 weeks old and was flashed with OpenVIX by world of sat.
    Do you think a reflash is likely to do anything?

    Check your cables at back of box are tight this can cause builds of static which causes the glitch

    Will try that when I get home and then over the weekend I'll reflash it to see if it helps.

    is your dish pointing at a clear sky -line of sight? trees waving in the breeze might also give issues as well as loose cables /nuts not tight on lnb.
    when you say both tuners have same strength like 96% and 80.eg on bbc1hdtuner strength.jpg

    Hi mate, i don't think is the tuner prob ,your dish maybe need alignment,if you have 4 way lnb , replace you cable to another feed ,if you have the same issue ,try the box anyone you know he have sky dish ,and see the deference ,if is the same issue, then send it back to the supplier,this the way you can check it ,cause you don't have a sat meter to check it properly,

    regards Nick

    Have to say I don,t think the tuners on these receivers (which tend to be Samsung) are as good as the tuners on Sky boxes at holding a signal, so it really is worth checking alignment or connecting to somebody elses Sky dish
    Gigablue Quad 4K & UE 4K
    .........FBC Tuners:
    ------------------> DUR-Line DCR 5-1-8-L4 Multiswitch to 1.5M dish(28.2E)
    ------------------> Spaun SUS 5581/33 NFA Multiswitch to 80 cm dish(19.2E)
    .......................> FBC & DVB-S2X into 90cm dish (27.5W) Opticum robust Unicable LNB
    AX HD61, Edision Osmio 4K+, Zgemma H9Combo, Octagon SF8008 , gbtrio4k, h9se using Legacy ports on multiswitches

    If it was a signal/dish alignment issue surely I wouldn't have a signal strength of 93%. The dish is not obstructed by trees or anything. I never had any glitching with the Sky box ever and agree with you that the tuner must be better on those.

    Unfortunately I am not able to check the box on someone elses set-up so I think if the reflash doesn't fix it I will have to return it.

    Slightly OT but what are usually seen as the best tuners for holding on to a signal please? The LX3 I have is full of Samsung tuners and I think the other boxes I have are all Broadcom based but to be honest there hasn't been a massive difference (other than reported signal strength) when I've tried them out on the same cable.

    It will be your f-connectors/cabling/LNB that is the issue. You have a weakness somewhere, nothing to do with the receiver imo. I've seen this many of times before and it will be down to your setup.

    I don't understand how it can be a dodgey signal issue when the signal strength is 93% AGC 79%. I've tightened everything and also didn't have any issues like this on the sky box. I've re-flashed with the latest openVix and still have the glitching. I'm contacting WOS for a replacement unit as I believe this one is faulty. If it isn't faulty then the box isn't fit for purpose but if that were the case there would be a lot more complaints on the forums about it.
