Cable signal

[Seg]

Has anyone been able to get there signal for cable over 91% in strength?

That's a good signal level for cable - around 70% is usually normal and even at this figure, it's fine.

I'm getting 91-92% on cable tuners on my H5.2tc, I'm getting 99% on my VU+

 

[Seg]

Is the vu+ I better box in terms of features?

Mine is the VU+ UNO 4K which has 8 cable tuners compared to the 2 on the h5.2tc. You can install kodi on the VU+ and as the name suggests it's 4k although I don't have a 4K tv so don't get that benefit. I'm sure the technical specs are better on the VU+

I was after a twin cable box before the h5.2tc came out and the VU+ is good quality and has the extras but it cost more than twice the price of the H5.2tc does.

Is it proper kodi like you can get on fire sticks and PCS? As the kodi on Zgemma is useless

I've not used kodi on fireskick or pc etc but I followed the kodi 17 instructions when adding apps etc, as far as I am aware it is the full kodi krypton. I don't really use it that often

I might look into this. Does 8 cable tuner mean you can record 8 things at once?

Yes, or watch one and record on 7 others. but check with your line provider if you can get away with one line

I get 95% signal so this seems pretty good

Hi,
I need help setting up my H5.2tc box with Virgin. Question, do i need a subscription even to receive the freeview channels on Virgin? I have virgin broadband and used the splitter system for the cabling.
When I run a scan it can detect channels but none of them working even freeview ones. Is it because I need a sub?

 

[grog68]

You should be able to get 1 - 5 SD, you need a sub for all other channels and HD

1-5 in SD are FTA unless you live in Ireland then none will work without a line.

Thanks, another question does it weaken my broadband strength if using a splitter?

 

[southsimon]

it should not affect the broadband strength but may affect the cable tv when splitting?
