    Its difficult to get a picture as its intermittent its like a signal issue the picture has a line of squares happens on some channels more than others wondering if its a resolution issue just changed my mode and refresh rate and content settings and it seems to be ok if someone would care to share their settings and I can compare that would be good

    thanks

    it doesn't sound like a resolution issue. I have mine setup to 1080i and multi refresh rate. are you using mgcamd or ccam or oscam.

    I would check your cabling n reconnect your f-connectors at the back of the receiver first.

    all sorted please delete

    Hi I thought I had this fixed but still happening but worse now I am recording on another tuner whilst this is happening when my recording finishes I can check whether this has affected the other tuner or noti have 2 separate connections at present is it worth trying a loop cable instead?

    I have now done some more testing , I have tuner a (dvb-c) looped through to tuner b (dvb-c) and have disabled tuner a and picture is back to normal no breaking up I think I may have an issue with tuner a , tomorrow I will swap the tuners around and see if the picture interference follows the tuner, is this just a straight swap seeing as they are both the same model?

    thanks in advance
