well after a lot of Help from abu baniaz - pheonix and fat-tony for pointing out my spelling mistake i finaly got the 3 logs in my tmp folder

but how the hell do i post them to this message i keep getting invalid file and i am in advanced

Drop them into a folder and use a file compressor like winrar to compress them. Upload that here.

No worries mate, and there is no harm in asking if you'r unsure.

 

[abu baniaz]

Well done and thank you.

no problem abu I am only to glad to to be able to help in my small way for the fantastic work that you all do with Openvix

and any way i learned how to tell net

 

[DaMacFunkin]

Tell who? Lol...
I'm thinking of trying a cable tuner if I ever get my duo2 back from Vu, how are you finding it?

 

[abu baniaz]

Can't find your receiver. It's with Vu.

a little disappointing really most of the free view channels don't work yet but as I have only had it for 1 day it could be Operator error lol

Sorry m8, honestly i would laugh if i didn't feel like crying everytime i think about how long it is taking and the wall of silence everytime i try to get an eta for return, between Vu and the reseller i've been left numb, i certainly wouldn't run our company like that.

Don't forget free to air and free to view are different things

I've got a cable/t2 tuner on order from sponsor now that Vu have shipped me a replacement box (2 weeks to work out they couldn't fix it....) so some time over the weekend I will be getting my hands into this, slightly of topic question will the tuner loop all frequencys thru to my VM box or will they be limited. Ta.

You can split a "cable" cable without restrictions although you get a bit of signal loss.

 

[DaMacFunkin]

Yeah I know, thats what I was looking to avoid, in no way do I want affect the power levels of my modem...

 

[Rob van der Does]

What does a modem have to do with a cable-signal

 

[abu baniaz]

Cable TV and Cable broadband come down the same cable.

You should be fine with split. They sometimes add attenuators to reduce signal.

 

[Rob van der Does]

Nothing will 'stress' the modem if you loopthrough/split signal.

when I got my Cable installed in 2000 by NTL I got them to fit extra feeds to my back room
so I have direct cables to my modem and receiver from the distribution box
I have the main feed box in the front room with a loop to another box then 1 cable connects to the TV
then a rather long cable fed through the wall to my back room
that feeds to another box and that feeds to my main box that feeds my TV & modem
it sounds complicated but it is simple really, so all my feeds are dedicated Direct feeds from the original cable box and no cable splitters that you can see mmmm
that's what I thought till I took one of the covers off the wall to decorate and to my surprise
the special connection Boxes are just basic 3 way cable splitters in a fancy cover and the boxes are only their to make the connections to the cables look tidy
But at least with me wanting so many connections they ran a new beefed up main cable to my house
so at the moment I am on 60meg broadband soon to be upped to 100meg Tivo box in my back room and a V+HD box in our lasses front room :thumbsup:

Nothing will 'stress' the modem if you loopthrough/split signal.

Not true, your power levels are balanced at the green box as to how many prepherials you have running on the stream, this is particularly true if TiVo is involved, if you read cable forums many peoples upstream problems are caused by the signal being split to many times causing low power levels.

The best way to connect your docsis cable 3 modem is on a separate feed.
Where the cable comes into the house, the first thing is using a splitter to make a feed to your modem and the rest of the house. These splitters should be special made for these purpose (output has different filters). (Our your providers should have delivered a special connectionbox, 1 in, 1 out modem, 1 out tv and 1 out radio).
So modem is connected direct after first splitter. Nothing else should be connected to that feed.

The rest in the house can be done 2 way (or a combi of it).
Use 1 feed for the rest of the house. Therefore you must use loop through connection boxen. The disadvantage of this is the damping of 15dB in each box .
The best way is to use a distribution amplifier. It amplifies the signal before splitting it into multiple feeds.
Remember to use at the end of the feed an end-connection box. Never leave a feed 'open'. Also when you are not using outlets of a splitter or distribution amplifier, terminate the outlet with a special 75ohm cap.
