Digital Broadcast Australia highly recommends that you use RG6 Quad shield cabling from your television antenna directly to the set- top box. - Page 36 Q. Some web pages I try to access will restart the set-top box. Why? A. Many web pages include multiple pop-ups or other code intentionally designed to get data (sometimes unauthorized) from you. These pages may be beyond the capabilities of this product. Q.
- Page 37 Q. When I record, the recording is not playing back properly. It is breaking-up. A. This is possible if your signal level is too low. Check the Diagnostics->TV Signal menu. If SNR is less than 20.0dB, then this problem may exist. As a rule, if the set-top box detects a low signal level, it will give more signal to the first tuner so you may continue to watch digital television and timeshift.
