Can anyone suggest a fix ?
Internet is fine, coaxial cables and splitter fine but all channels apart from 1-5 glitch
SNR bounces between 76-88%
I'll attach a short video of what my channels are doing.

Hi Guys,
Having some signal problems which is causing chanells to glitch, does anyone have any ideas to get my BER to 0 as I'm getting really high reading which bounce around ?
DM 525 HD
Any help is appreciated guys :)

Satellite or cable ??
Either way check connections, wiring or lnb if applicable
-
maybe the dish came out of alignment, check signal strength, if you have another receiver to test try that.

Hi Guys,
It's a cable box, hope that helps
Thanks in advance
After weeks of trying to identify my channel glitching/pixelation problem, I have now found the problem.
My BER is very high, if I plug the coaxial coming from outside directly into my box my BER is perfect, once I splitter the cable to both modem and box my BER goes really high causing the pixilation.
Would you have any ideas why this could be ?
-
rubbish splitter and cabling
-
Tried lots of different splitters and cable bud

What box is it?
Only an issue on some channels??
-
Dream box 525, no mate all channels pixelating
-
SNR 83% but BER dose not stabilise on 0, keeps bouncing around with really high readings

Okay sorry never had any dealing with a dreambox so cant suggest anything box related other than trying another image team to see if the issue is still there, you want a snr of 99% and ber of 0 (but i do ber of 8 or 9 on some channels)
If the issue is not there when plugged in directly then you must still have a cable and or splitter issue
If you box has a cable input and output then go directly to the dreambox first, then use the dreambox exit to feed your router....

Different receivers react differently based on the drivers.
If signal wire direct into receiver is fine. i.e no splitters extension etc, then the you do not have adequate power levels.

Thabks for the help guys, I'll try your suggestions and then let use know??

Hi Jeseneverest,
I tried feeding my modem through my output on box but the internet doesn't work when doing it that way, any suggestions as to why bud ??

Hi,
Don't know if you got to the bottom of your problem or not, however the first thing you need to establish is the actual signal strength you are presenting to your receiver. You may be at 'cliff edge' and putting a splitter in the feed introduces 3.5db additional loss which could be enough to put you over the 'cliff edge' and cause picture break up. Different DVB standards are more robust than others. Sat which uses QPSK will tolerate a very weak signal with lots of errors before picture loss. DVB-T, I have seen working as low as 48dbuV and is designed to handle multi-path (ghosting) very well. The only true way to check is to measure the signal at the receiver. Going by the receiver on screen level indicator is not accurate enough.

Feeding through the box is killing the return path. That,s why you loose internet.

Hi mate, thankfully got to the bottom of it.
As you mentioned my signal was the issue, had to purchase the booster which has thankfully solved the issue
