[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1128628, member: 82144"] You should never make such an assumption: [LIST=1] [*]Conditions can change over time, so the situation now doesn't necessarily match the situation during the recording. [*]The readings are only updated every few seconds (I think it is 2 or 5). Therefore intermittent problems (eg. bursts of interference) will probably not be shown. [*]The meanings of the readings which we label "%" are not standard. It could be a percentage, or it could be dBmV... or it could be arbitrary. [/LIST] Better would be to use the manual control section in TV Server configuration to monitor the signal strength/quality, packet count and discontinuity count over time. Best would be to get a signal quality meter (or professional with proper equipment) to check the situation. Again, conditions can change. What if the tuner (or CAM) was overheating because it had been a hot day or had been in use for a long time? In short: I would say that you can't rule out these possibilities in 5 minutes. Check your assumptions... then double check them... then check them again. :) I suggest you try to record other channels on the same frequency. [/QUOTE]
