TV Channel Signal Interuptions
 
Hi guys..

Long time lurker and reader of both here and former site.

I have spoken to quite a few people with the NTL digi pack, and none seem to be having this problem.

I use the NTL digi full pack, and cable modem in the Warwick area...whenevr we seem to have very windy weather, or like today, very cold, and snowing in this case, certain channels seem to drop packets of signals as im watching the TV.

At the moment C5, Sky Movies 5 and Sky Sports 1 are all doing it, as are many other channels.

I was wondering whether this is something indicative of cold weather or something I should get an Engineer out to at some point?

Cheers

Wiggz

It sounds like there is some kind of tech. problem there. I think the best thing to do is to call out an engineer

We had this problem with one of our two boxes in the house.

It started dropping signals on a few channels. The over time it lost signal on some channels all together. Then it all went dead.

The engineer came out and said it was either a dead card or box, but found the annenuation was too high too.

Give them a ring before you have to spend a friday night watching a blank screen!!!

Or worse still have it pack up on a Sunday when Customer Services are closed!! :)
