Pixelation

[BeoVision]

Hi Guys

I have noticed an issue on a couple of the movie channels where I have severe pixelation, on some days the channels are complete black however the SNR & AGC are both @ 92%.

All the other channels are fine, and I was wondering if there is anything I can do to improve?

Thanks

ensure you have a good quality splitter? I used a cheap one and experienced the same issues - replaced it and the picture is spot on now.

Also it could be your signal - either too low or too high.

Can you recommend a splitter? also as far as i can tell it's only two movie channels that are affected, also how do i tell if the signal is too low or high?

splitter 5-1000MHz

Thanks River, how can I tell if I require an attenuator?

Look at the signal finder under sat searching on the frequency of those 2 channels.

You could also login to you modem and check the incoming power levels.

Both channels show 92 - 93 % via signal finder. I updated the drives for the Sundek Tuner which did improve things however the picture is not clear as the rest of the channels.

Power Levels attached.

 

[Ferret]

Your power levels are fine what droppers or splitter you got on ?

 

[BeoVision]

Splitter I currently have in place, should I look to replace?

 

[Ferret]

Yeah thats not what i expected get a 5-1000 mhz version

 

[BeoVision]

Thanks, any reason not to go for 2400 MHz option as my local screwfix has them in stock

 

[Ferret]

Yeah it can cause interference on your cable line.

Thanks

Hi guys, splitter arrived today however it’s made no difference. What I did notice is that when I move the cable feed coming from outside it did improve the picture so could I have a potentially damaged cable? If so can I get it this replaced and why only certain channels affected? what would I say to virmin?

 

[Ferret]

Tell them your internet keeps going intermittently and hope the engineer spots it.

 

[JonMMM]

Which splitter did you get?

 

[BeoVision]

Will give them a buzz tomorrow, should I disconnect the cable to my receiver as it’s located next to my router.

Purchased a labtech splitter

yes you dont want non provider extras to be seen,i agree if cables are moved=bad connection and picture improves.

 

[BeoVision]

Hopefully they will just replace it regardless. It just seems strange that if it does turn out to be the cable then why is my internet ok and only certain channels have an issue. The channels with the issues all have SNR 90% or above
