[QUOTE="mikeyp, post: 1206613, member: 154511"] Whilst I'm thinking about it, ITV HD is still timeshifting fine. Fair enough re. the signal values. What I can say is both tuners read the same. I have excluded those processes in case it will make a difference. Right, so we're looking at the signal. This is helpful. Let's see if I can break this down further. Cables checked. Seem good and solid. Connected direct to the Samsung TV, no issues with signal are exhibited, even on BBC One HD. Weather is currently fair but cold. Signal quality (quantitatively) is better in the new house over the old and I don't get any breakups in picture in all but the worst of thunder storms. Weather doesn't appear to affect the behaviour. Dish/LNB alignment a possibility but I think this one is better than the last. Local interference a possibility but hard to track down, impossible if it's a neighbour. DECT phones a possibility but not on the phone when breakups occur. Wifi kit is brand new with the house move. House move also discounts specific neighbour problems. WMC was previously used but has been pretty thoroughly disabled. Would be good to double check this. That said, I would have thought it would affect other channels too. So, if I understand you right, unlike what I've seen with freeview where the picture seems to come and go with signal, freesat requires some kind of setup of the stream? What's odd is the way the signal dies. It's perfect for the working duration watching, then over the course of about 5 seconds, it'll pixellate a little, degrade further, the picture becomes completely incomprehensible as it breaks down before dying completely. It's as though the card just isn't getting on with the BBC stream and the issue is more serious than simply signal quality. Whilst investigating, I found this thread on the kodi forums with the same card, MediaPortal backend and symptoms: [URL]http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=221775[/URL] I wonder if the issue is the card... Edit: Just time shifted BBC One HD again, died in less than 20 seconds. [/QUOTE]
