signal strenth is 88 yet quality is 0-25 v bad freezing,is there anything I do about that?
Quality only bad on low frequencys,s*y s2 for example, 1,3,4,all perfect, what subbed box?

your providers box ?? if you dont have one of these this is why you are having problems with your cable as if you only pay for Broadband they reduce your incoming signal so you cant split it to use on your tv so if that is the case you will have to make do with what you have

ok e45 are you saying that if i scan on the correct Netid then I won't get the scrambled channels issue. what about the problem with the splitter how do i resolve that. please can you be specific, sometimes you generalize your answers thats why its confusing. In the end it will only help others like ballybo etc

well then you will have to put up with the bad quality issues you are having as it down to the cable that you are having the problems and until you get that sorted you will have to live with the channels you have at the present time

you either need to set your com port up or i suggest you use a win xp pc to do it or try this below should be the same

ok first go to start go to my computer righ click and go to properties

go to hardware tab >> device manager go to ports ( COM & LPT )

click on the little + sign and find com port 1 or what ever com port number it says remember the number Communications Port

click on it to highlight it then right click it go to properties then look for port setting tab on top

click that i there you will see

bits per second set this to ======= 115200

data bits ========= 8

parity ============ None

stop bits ========= 1

flow control ====== None

then go to advance button and press ok

next setting in there is

tick the top option MAKE SURE THIS IS TICKED

receiver buffer ======== High (14)

Transmit buffer ======== High (16)

com port number use the tab on the side and change it to 1 if it says in use ignore it and force it to use this

MAKE SURE WHEN YOU DO THESE SETTING YOU PRESS OK ON THE RIGHT TO SAVE ON FIRST BOX

THEN OK ON THE NEXT BOX AS WELL THIS MUST BE DONE

THEN GO BACK INTO THE DEVICE MANAGER AND CHECK YOUR SETTING TO MAKE SURE THEY ARE CORRECT

hi.got it to work. had to load "prolific driverinstaller" to run on port 10. took a bit to figure it out to work on windows 7.
PS. 1 after network search do you leave your box on standby for 1hr or so to scan?
or shud it have NET ID on screen
2 Telewest it says. already exist. NO MUMBERS
