    strange issue

    Hi im currently running an mbtwin on VM FTA all has been fine until recently i started noticing some glitching while using the internet , especially while recording one channel and watching another. This led me to check all the connections and all seemed fine i then started some basic fault finding ie just running one cable at a time changing tuner config etc. The glitching has now got so bad that its almost impossible to watch at times when surfing the net , i should add that i have no torrents running or anything that would stress the connection. I then decided to unplug the box from the net and was suprised to find that the issue still continued. If i just run one cable via tuner A i get no issues whatsoever when i connect to Tuner B the issue returns. I have a 3 way splitter from the main connection and im starting to wonder if that is the problem or is the Tuner faulty?
    Ideas/suggestions anyone
    cheers

    Disable Tuner A and connect Tuner B only then test. Use the feed from Tuner A.

    Change the splitter and check coax/f connectors for any shorts.

    Doubtful its the receiver at fault, you can even disconnect power to the receiver and swap the tuners in the slots.

    I would put it down to a faulty or cheap splitter or even a faulty connection lead, I had a similar problem with my LX3 but I fitted a genuine virgin splitter and leads
    and now I am getting 99% SNR on BBC News Cable
