[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1138372, member: 82144"] LOL, I'm [I]always [/I]right. :D /sarcasm In all seriousness I think it's possible you had multiple things going on there, which has made it tricky to pin down. Your security software changes may have been helpful too. Has this expert got any experience with TBS PC tuners? If not, with the greatest respect I would disregard their opinion. Reason being: the 95/80 readings are [B]not[/B] really comparable across tuners. They're just numbers that the TBS driver spits out. If I were you I'd get a professional in, preferably on a day when the weather is not so good and you're getting discontinuities. The professional should have the equipment to read hardware-independent measurements of your signal quality. These can form the basis for a true assessment of what can be done.
