Digibox

Tyrone lady · October 30, 2007, 08:45:22 AM

Need help people, got a digibox for the room last week and was going great but now suddenly every few minutes the channels seem to skip back to number 1 if you get me. There is great signal on it as it shows signal strength but wont stay at channels for long before skippin back to number 1. Also if your moving up the channels to see whats on you can get to about 25 then same old thing it just skips back to number 1. Anyone any ideas because its driving me mad.
Thanks in advance

My mother had a similar problem. Bought it in argos and they say that they dont do returns for digi box, however they have to if the machine is faulty.

Replaced it with a different model ( goodmans , i think), now everythings fine.

Its its messing you about after a week , i would return it anyway just for peace of mind

Not sure if there has been a thread on this before but has anyone got one of those digibox scramblers that you connect through your NTL
I heard about it on the Matt Cooper show on today fm and i am considering getting one,Seemingly you can get access to every premium channel ie Sky Sports,Movie channel etc for free,as well as all your usual channels
I think its only in the ROI but not sure,anyone know anything bout them?

Yeah i've got a Euro-vox Max box (bought from germany on ebay about 2 years ago ~ £100) in Belfast, get all the channels including setanta, MUFC, Celtic TV, Prem plus, movies, basically eveything except RTE. Would recomnmend one if you have a canle signal coming into the house (i.e virgin broadband) takes the signal and splits out all the channels. Not sure how much they are going for these days

Not the exact same as the one i have but it is the same make, looks like a newer version of it just.

How do these work? is it just a case of plugging them in and connecting them to the tele and scanning in the channels, just like the digibox,or is there more to it than that?

DUBSFORSAM1 · October 31, 2007, 12:04:22 PM

Plug them into the tele, the channels then come through all 100+....they are a pain to actually move about in order so your best just writing them down....

Sky Sports, Movies, Adult channels etc all included...

i think you should invest in one of these and trial it for the rest of us!

does it effect your internet access?

No it just splits the tv cahnnels out of it, it also allows you to store channels in different favourite groups so you can set up different sections for sport, music, films, entertainment, adult, science & documentary, news etc.

That yoke only works in certain areas where N$L have changed the signal from Annalogue to Digital. It won't work in Lucan or Celbridge because they are annalogue according to here : http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/468229
