Hi everyone, I am new to the forum and I'm really hoping someone can help me as I am completely stumped! I took delivery of a Humax FVP-4000T Nero the other day. I read countless reviews and I know there is some negativity around the product but I decided to purchase it anyway as,if it worked, it would be perfect for my needs. I really want to love the product but I just can't get it to work properly.
I have an external aerial that has a splitter which feeds to the bedroom upstairs and the lounge downstairs. The downstairs aerial works very well in a Panasonic tv so the aerial can't be faulty. However, I set the Nero up in the lounge and it only found about 50 channels. Manual tuning was no better. I thought the product may be faulty so I tried it upstairs where it promptly found 150 channels. Tried again downstairs where I got the message the signal was too weak so no picture/channels at all.
I spoke to a man who fixes aerials the following morning who confirmed the aerial couldn't be faulty as it was still working in the tv. Not sure what to do, I thought I'd try a booster and it worked. I tested all the channels, used on demand tv, made some recordings, brilliant! The cable I had from the booster seemed a bit loose so I intended to buy a new one today. Turned the machine on this morning and had the no signal error again and out it down to the loose cable. Bought a new cable and plugged it in and I have the same no signal error!!!
Out of desperation, I tried upstairs again and it works perfectly. I am pretty good with equipment, I had a Topfield PVR and am used to having to fiddle with appliances but this has got me so confused. What on earth am I doing wrong? Can anyone help please?
