[QUOTE="sorrowuk, post: 863471, member: 105590"] The continuity errors are definatly to do with signal. I used to get them every 4-5 minutes. I used to use a Blackgold card. I changed to a DVBSKY S952 DUAL DVB-S2 card. And since then I hardly get any now. Maybe like 1 every 2 hours. I guess the tuner on this new card is more sensitive and better and therefore my signal has improved . Also some cards don't report the signal strength and signal quality correctly. My blackgold card used to report signal strength of 88% When I switched to my new DVBSKY S952 card my signal strength went to 70% but I get less continuity errors. [B]I think its impossible to completly remove all continuity errors and never get any of them as sat signal is effected by wind, rain , environment, obstacles etc but if you get it to an acceptable level then its alright.[/B] Bascially if you have continuity errors try a different card and see if it changes anything. If you buy from places like amazon you can try it and if it doesnt help send it back and get all your money back. [B][/B] [/QUOTE]
