Help! No signal and blank recordings

We have had BT vision for 6 months, and have been quite disappointed so far! We have a brand new digital aerial and can watch freeview perfectly through the inbuilt box in our tv. However, when we switch to the BT vision box, almost all the 'good' channels say poor signal or break up and stutters.
So, we can't watch live tv on it, and we can't record anything due to the signal problem! All we can do is watch on demand, which we could do on the laptop for free!
Then to make matters worse, I've been working late so trying to record evening tv. When we go to watch back, the recordings show in the menu but just come up with a blank screen when played back. With Christmas coming, this is concerning as there's a lot of good tv I don't want to miss.
Can anyone help?!

The box having two tuners requires a good strong signal, better than that required by your TV. The tuners are a bit sensitive. When you say you have new aerial did coaxial cable get replaced or renewed? I found we needed that many years ago in the time of On Digital was water ingress had messed with the signal.
Have you had DSO yet?
Is your transmitter on low power?
Have you tried a booster?

  • Need Help with Signal and No Service Issue

    I switched out my phone Saturday after Genius ran diagnostic and said it was a hardware issue dropping so many calls. I also got a new Sim card in the newest series. I was feeling good and confident until I went to work and the signal dropped to No Service and remained that way all day. I called At&t and was treated rather rudely by a supervisor, who said that maybe I should find a different carrier, because I seem to be a problem customer. (I guess for reporting issues.) I don't know what to do anymore. He told me to take the replacement back to Apple and have them test it again. Can anyone help me?

    Try th steps provided in the article below:
    iPhone: Troubleshooting No Service
    If after following the steps in the article the issue remains then make sure you back up your iPhone and as you said book an appointment at an Apple Store to have the iPhone evaluated.

  • Help, clips "frozen" and blank after import

    I imported about 7 minutes of footage from my Panasonic DV cam. Everything looked fine as I scrubbed through it and added clips to the project. I did let iMovie do image stabilization. I added a few titles, and let the project do the "scrapbook" template, and things looked great. I added a song or two, and was adjusting where they begin in the timline, and all of a sudden, my clips were "frozen". I mean, as I would run the mouse over them, there was one frame that played, and nothing else. There were 4 clips like this.
    I decided to just replace them with the clips in the lower part of the iMovie window, because they still played fine. I deleted the ones that were messed up, then drug the clip back into the top part, and then they too were broken. Then, in the lower part, the same clip that played fine 5 seconds ago, is now black. (no video)
    Any ideas?

    No, I didn't try restarting my computer. I don't think it will help, but I will try. I had to pretty much scrap my whole project. I used time machine to get a copy of the files from the night before. This at least saved me from having to capture all over again. (not to mention waiting on the processing time for stabilization)

  • The screen of my macbook pro remains black and blank. I need help

    My computer screens fails to come on at start up. It just stays black and blank. I have tried a couple of reboot sessions but all to no avail. Can anyone out there help me please.

    The only people that can help you are those at an Apple store.
    Your Mac is broken and needs to be repaired. That is IF you get absolutely nothing on the screen after pressing the powwr button.

  • Hi, i have purchased iPhone 5 about 15 days ago, its working well but only one problem that it has is that some time its losting signal and appear as no serves. would you please help me in this reqard. thanks

    Well, it could be that your carrier doesn't have a signal when it looses its signal.  You could try resetting network settings which might help - Settings/General/Reset/Reset Network Settings.  You'll need to set up any wi-fi networks you connect too again. If you're still having issues, contact your carrier.
    Good luck!

  • My iphone 4s loses the signal and to recover it I have to turn on and off airplane mode, can anyone help me??

    my iphone 4s loses the signal and to recover it I have to turn on and off airplane mode, can anyone help me??

    Generally speaking, the iPad backup process is a disaster recovery process, not an archive process.  Typically, when creating a new backup, the old one is erased.
    If you go to iTunes' Preferences (under the leftmost heading in iTunes' menu on your computer) and then choose "Devices", do you see the specific backup you want to restore listed there?  If so, you can restore it.  If not, I don't believe you can.

    Connect the iPhone to the compter you usually sync with
    and use iTunes on that computer to do the restore.

  • Audio files and voice recordings have no sound in iMovie after a while, help?

    I was editing and I was putting audio files and recording my voice fine then all of a sudden, audio files and voice recordings I were adding had no sound. The ones already put on had sound but when I tried to drag more audio files or record my voice, nothing. No sound. I tried restarting my Mac, didn't work. I changed the MP3 name to AIFF, didn't work. I'm using iMovie '11.

    Hi PK - welcome to the forum!
    Increasingly, people with digital still cameras want to import their short movie clips created with that camera. BUT the catch is that these movies are NOT in .dv format. They are MPEGs, and if they are MPEG1 or MPEG2 then they must be converted to DV before they will import into iMovie with the audio able to play.
    This conversion usually can be done with a free app. called MPEG StreamClip, but may also need another piece of software called the Apple MPEG2 Playback Component (which costs about $20)..
    A search in this forum for those, will give you several threads on the issue!
    Look here, for example, for more about the method required:
    http://www.sjoki.uta.fi/%7Eshmhav/SVCDon_a_Macintosh.html#edit_convertMPEG
    NOTE that iMovie was designed for DV use (a high-quality editing format), not the much lower quality MPEG footage.

  • Blank Recordings... Not Blank Screen Fault

    My BT vision box has been exhibiting some very strange issues lately
    It's been losing signal on live TV channels, but when you go into the settings to check the powers, the signal and quality is 100%.
    Also, if I record, and watch something else, it seems that the second tuner does not record the show, it is just a blank recording.
    The box did reboot around 7.58 on Friday 5th August for no seemingly good reason. A neighbour heard that lines were being tested but I thought that'd be just coincidence.
    It's a silver box (think 2nd gen) with firmware V2.
    Is the second tuner dying? Nothing has changed re aerial, switchover or box, the area is STV North (Angus Transmitter)

  • Check control signal and write in 1s, ignore control signal for the following 2s.

    I am new to Labview, recently I use DAQ to receive 2 channels, one is expected signal and another one is control signal. If the control signal is higher than threshold (rising edge), write expected data in 1s. Then, ignore the control signal in 2 second. The process is repeated. The attachment is my program but it doesn't work. I use flat sequence to do 2 consecutive tasks but cannot ignore the control signal.
    Any help is appreciate.

    Find attached the picture of the vi where I tried to put in timers.one in each of the frame and at the end added one more frame just to measure the time elapsed .
    The last frame and the frame with sourcemeter measurment show adifference of about 140 msec.
    Is there any way to improve the speed of this portion?
    Probably not.  It sounds like the Keithly VI is taking 140 msec.  You can try opening that up to see if there is anything in there that could be causing an unnecessary slowdown.  But trying to tighten it up too much may cause occasional errors (such as timeouts) in trying to get a response back. 
    But surprisingly I tried displaying the actual timer value at the start and at the start of sourcemeter read function ..but the display of both indicators is almost equal with little difference of only 10 msec.?????  I'm not sure which of the several timers you are referring to here.  What is the value going into the wait function between the VISA write and the Keithly VI?
    When you do benchmarking, the timer functions should be in a frame all by themselves.  Having it mixed with another function or VI causes a bit of uncertainty as to when the time was taken.  For instance, you dont' really know if the Keithly VI was started before the time was taken or after.  (The time was probably taken first, but without a data flow or sequence structure dependency, you can't be sure.)

  • I open my email from frontiernet (a local provider) I can read the email but when I go to reply or forward I get a Skype help page then a blank page. Therefore I can't reply or forward email.

    I log-in to webmail. frontier.com and go to my inbox. I have no trouble reading my email but I cannot reply or forward. When I try to do either I get a screen that first has a Skype help page then goes blank. It says done on the bottom but there is no reply box to type in. I've never had this problem before and I've been doing this for almost 2 years on may computers. The only thing different is I had some work done and had to re-install Firefox. Could a newer version cause the problem? I do not have this problem when I use IE or am on a different computer.This was happening even before I installed Skype.

    Disable the Skype extension for Firefox - both versions if you really have two versions installed.

  • Acquiring two signals and saving at a Table

    Good Morning,
    I'm new to LabVIEW, and I need help at a Data Acquisition. Let me explain it, so I hope you guys can help me.
    I need a graph, and a Table displaying two signals acquired at a Field Point conection: Pressure and Temperature.
    At this measurement, I need the VI to measure every five minutes, during one minute every measure.
    And I need to save the signals to '.txt'.
    I need the Table to save both signals, and a "cronometer', to keep in control of any existant difference in the signals, observing the exact time the signals changed, if it changes.
    Sorry for the bad English, I'm an aprentice, using the User of the Area's Supervisor.
    Thanks.

  • HT1766 I lost my IPhone 4S this morning and want to increase my cloud storage so I can back it up when it finds a signal and then remotely erase it...I'm assuming the worst that whoever finds is will not callme or want to return the phone

    I lost my IPhone 4S this morning and want to increase my cloud storage so I can back it up when it finds a signal and then remotely erase it...I'm assuming the worst that whoever finds is will not call me or want to return the phone. I went to icloud but it only govers me options to increase storage from my iPhone or a synced computer (mac or PC).

    If the phone is offline there is no way to track it or send a message to it.  You can place it in lost mode to lock it and send it a message (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmfc0f0165), but this will not take place until the phone goes back online, if it ever does.  If it does, you will get an email informing you.

  • Problem when combinning PWM signal and Analog signal TOGETHER!

    Hello everybody,
    first of all i have DAQmx 6212, and i need to run a small water pump (9V-16V) which needs to be driven by a PWM signal; also i have a motor (5V-13V) for a water valve that needs to be driven by a analog signal and it has a built in a force feedback potentiometer, i connected on the extremeties of this potentiometer +5V from the DAQmx and used the output voltage from the third extremety as a diagnose value for knowing the position of the motor.
    my VI shows:
    1. is a normal Counter output to create my PWMout signal.
    2. is an analog input i use it as a PWMin to the LabVIEW to diagnose what is happenning in my water pump through the duty cycle and the frequency.
    3. is an analog input from the third extremety of the potentiometer.
    4. is an analog output which i have used as a power supply for the motor valve and i have used an AC/DC amplifier to aplify the signal from the DAQmx and drive the motor, between (3. and 4.) i have made a feedback with some calculations i had a P-controller to know the actual position of the motor valve.
    My Problem:
    when putting 1. and 2. in the same VI alone, i am getting a clean PWM in/out with no problems mentioned;
    also when putting 3. and 4. in the same VI alone i can control the motor valve without any problems;
    but when i put all these 4 together as found in the attached VI, i have a problem that the motor valve is running continously without stopping even if i change the valve position between 0 and 100 %, i should mention that i am seeing a normal PWM out/in signal on my oscilloscope, one other thing that if i delete one of (1. or 2.)  and run the VI the motor valve is working fine without any problems.
    so this my problem, if you can think of any solution please let me know.
    thanks in advance for your help.

    Dear nathand thanks for your reply,
    i have ran the vi again and i am have error no 50103 from the (AI, number 3. )  but it is not displaying the error message, the VI keeps running without any error notification.
    adding to that,  i have tested the VI again today by placing (1. and 2.for the PWM inout) together in one VI and (3. and 4.for the motor valve) in another VI and ran them one after the other, i had another problem. if i turn the motor valve vi, the motor will run smoothly but in the pwm vi i will have a problem in which the AI did not read any value. also doing this vice versa by running the pwm vi first it will work perfect but the motor vi will have problem in reading the measured voltage in AI during this the motor will keep on running without stopping.
    so i think now the problem is in AI (2. and 3.) readings they are interfering on each other but i am not discovering where is my problem...
    Q: does the AI's seems well build or i can do it in an another way so to get over the interfering?
    Regards,
