Hi.
I had an engineer come out and he said there's nothing he can do but replace the V+ with the new V6. I told him I didn't want to lose my recordings (and I like having them in one place. Transferring to DVD is not an option as it's not a recordable player ) so I decided to keep the V+ and try and find a makeshift solution to the constant rebooting.

I found the following post on another forum, but I don't understand it as it's way too technical for me. Could somebody please explain it in simple terms? Here is the post:

"Easy and simple way i found to stop that annoying reboot problem with your V+ box with a return path blocker, so no need to cut talkback via tracks inside.
I came up with an idea and this was because since i fitted my blocker my box restarted approx 4 times a day, some members reported more on other forums.
So what i did was, instead of putting the talkback blocker direct onto the box and then the feed in after it as you do, I placed my blocker at the exit point from my splitter. Since this I have not once had the box go off in 13 days since I did it.
And before any questions, Yes talk back still is disconnected even thou technically the blocker is facing opposite way"

Will this actually work? Any help would be great.

Thanks.
