Hi
I have traced my intermittent reception issues to a low SNR of 26.0 - 26.5Db on my pace stb. According to the manual, ideally it should be 27Db to 30Db. At the current readings i am getting a signal, but the picture and sound 'freezes' every 10 secs or so, very irritating
A few months ago this wasnt an issue for me as i had the box working ok, and im sure it was around the 30db mark, so there must have been some recent changes.
Is there a way i can increase the Db to hit the 30 mark without contacting the service provider, whom i am assuming could do this from their end? Would a higher quality coax cable to the stb help here, or do i need to buy a 4db amplifier (if they exists), or is there nothing I can do about the SNR short of phoning the service providor?
Thanks
