[QUOTE="marzup, post: 135047, member: 47832"] As with just about everyone who post here, even though they may have a problem or two they are always extremely grateful for both MP itself and the support forums. I also fall well into that category of person! My small problem is that the reception drops out intermittently. The TV show freezes and the sound stops and it may (or may not) then come up with the no reception message. If I simply move to another channel and then back to the channel all is well again for the time being.
