see my previous answer, no fixs and yes its N3 in the south. I wouldnt go holding my breath on a fix for N3, nor will 10 hail marys or an our father work,
Until such time a fix is available, then I wouldnt consider buying one, the irish market (south anyways) is a small drop in the ocean in money terms to suppliers, this box is to combat clones (bit late in the day), which in turn, is for Starviews benefit, not mine nor yours,
now, what Starview will release very soon, may be the better option for us down south,
google wizzard sat for more info on what is coming out. But bear in mind, its not a N3 fix, but worth looking at none the less, perhaps in the future..........

Hi Guys this is my first ever post, here goes. Got a starview 5 a couple of days ago, I have a terrible buzzing noise coming through the tv speakers and the picture has a wave line going through it. Have tried all different types of scart leads, still the same. Also no signal going to my dvd recorder so cant record anything. Called the company that supplied the box and they suggest getting an attenuator to reduce the strength of the cable signal, but they couldn`t explain the dvd problem and suggested that I go onto a forum like yours, hope someone can help as the noise is driving me crazy!!!!!!! Thanks

Go to your remote and press the signal button and tell me what your signal strenght and quality is
also are you using any other boxes connected to the box ??
like is your cable running thru your cable providers box then into the starview box ??

ok mate your signal level is far to low that is the prob, you would need to have at least 73/80%, so if you put a attenuator your signal will be far worse, you will need to get a signal booster on your cable, or look and see if you can see a little barrel type thing on your incoming cable, or it could be in your outside box on the house, if you find this take it off, and that should increase your signal.

ok, will have a look for this barrel type thing on the external box, not on the end of the cable,if needed where is the best place to get a booster

Hi found in the box on the outside of the house a 2 inch metal silver barrel shaped thing with PPC EX7 01 stamped on it which appears to be crimped onto the thick black cable coming from the street, and an F type connecter joining the thinner white cable going into the house on the other side of the barrel. Is this what you were referring to?. If so, and if it is crimped on, I take it I have no chance of removing it? Is a booster still a viable option. You mentioned "get a variable one if possible" what exactly do you mean. Sorry if I am asking silly questions but I`m not clued up on this Thanks again

Variable one will allow you to control the strenght of the boost ya need, otherwise you might have too much strenght which is also not good for you.
if you cant get one, take a chance and get a plain one, and if you need to put a attenuator on it so be it.

take it there is nothing I can do with the metal barrel then, because of the crimped end?

Mickah,
Just reading your thread above in relation to googling wizard sat and what Starview are going to be bringing out in the future.
Can you tell me a bit more on why you think this might be a better option for Ireland - south?
Is it the HD combo receiver your referring too?
I dont see any other comments on whats coming soon by Starview?
Thanks
