How do I reduce my cable signal strength?

[ex_tractorfan]

I have been told my signal strength is too high on my VU+ SOLO SE V2, as it freezes often. and lots of the time fails to display a channel at all.

Does anyone have any experience of this, and can you help? Thanks

You need an attenuator, but just as a matter of interest who told you it was too high?

[ex_tractorfan]

A guy from world of satellite said it probably is, He says its not the box at fault, as I can't get the channels properly, they freeze a lot. And I have an app, which has a signal meter (apparently), and it is is showing 100 on it, which is as high as it goes. The channels that freeze are showing 100, and the ones that aren't show 96.

Also, just out of interest, you don't have an house phone nearby your receiver do you?

I've switched it off. Still the same. Any other idea's?

I fitted an attenuator after having issues of glitching only cost a fiver from Amazon dialled it down to 93% never had a glitch since.

What size did you use? I have 2 things here, forward path equaliser 4db, and a cable simulator 4db, would either of these work?
As I have connected them, and nothing changes.

did anyone find a fix to lower the signal please as i currently have a 6db and it hasnt done nothing

Hi,i carnt say if this will work or not but i did a little reading up on this a little this week and you can buy a variable one(ebay) up to 20db.might be worth a try.
