And cable like this

F connectors come in different sizes for different diameter cables.

But i only wanted the f connecter to coax for the back of the box

Ah, ok, is it still a snug fit in your RF socket,?
Perhaps a gentle squeeze n the centre female with some long nose pliers might help.

I have put a nes splitter on and a new cable from the splitter to box and even bought a new tuner as i thought it was loose but it still breaks up i can see on service searching that the agc is good and strong at 91% but the signal is going mad it jumps between 0% and about 81% when its low that's when i get the issue the only thing that is the same is the coaxial to screw connection on back of box maybe that's my next call

I'm not following?
A NES splitter? - surely you don't mean a Nintendo thing?

No sorry new lol

 

[pabloescaban]

No sorry new lol

what name is on the splitter? - cheap nasty ones don't work with VM cable, should be Tratec, Technetix or Labgear
there's a possibility your power levels are out, check the router and post the downstream data here

 

[geoffsnook]

Technetix i bought what people recommended on here

 

[geoffsnook]

It does not do it all the time it is fine now but a few hours ago it was unwatchable

 

[pabloescaban]

if you are using those nasty white plastic push-fit cables that VM supply, they're no good for enigma2 boxes, only Tivo.
you need decent cables and a proper F connector for the rear port:

 

[geoffsnook]

Yeah that is the one i have no nasty white ones here

 

[pabloescaban]

if you're using proper cables, splitter and connector, it could be power levels in the router

 

[geoffsnook]

What should power levels be thanks

Here's what i have

 

[rs500nutter]

Power levels etc look fine.
Long shot have a look in your omni box outside to see if you have an inline isolator or splitter because son had a lot of trouble with his because their outside in the elements and his isolator was rusty and causing signal loss etc. Also seen bad exposed wiring outside from poor installation ie cable not buried enough and was damaged by fencing company etc.
Any possibilty to get your hands on another box with a cable tuner to try just to rule out a faulty tuner because this does happen from time to time but rare etc.

 

[geoffsnook]

Just checked box outside no splitter in there just a straight through connector which seems clean but a poor installation from virgin cable not buried very well and last foot exposed :(

 

[geoffsnook]

Sorry i also did buy a new tuner and put it in alongside the original but it is doing the same

 

[pabloescaban]

you put a new tuner in the box?
what box is it?
is the picture pixellating/breaking up or is it stop/start?
is it on all channels?
