[QUOTE="DrMopar, post: 496455, member: 70303"] I'm trying to get a reliable DVB-T signal but have been having issues with pixellation. My receiver is a tuner card (HVR4000) in my HTPC which reports quality but not signal strength. The quality seems to be at 100% most of the time but the drop outs are so brief I don't have time to check the reading before everything's back to normal again. I've done all of the necessary aerial upgrades (high gain aerial, masthead amp, new RG6) and am unsure whether my issue is caused by weak signal or interference. I have a friend with the Dick Smith terrestrial receiver box which apparently has a signal strength and signal quality indicator on it. Does anyone know how accurate these are? If I borrow this box and hook it up to my aerial will it give me a good indication if my signal is strong enough? If so how strong should it be as a min for good reception? Thanks [/QUOTE]
