[QUOTE="Lotsofjazz, post: 424295, member: 64243"] You'r welcome!.. just sharing my own experience.. I have been strugling for months before i got it right! A tip to improve it even more.. make sure the signal and quality is 100% or near 100%, (both bars fully green when scanning channels in Media Portal TV server.) by replacing the coax cable and most important the coax plugs.. those plastick ones are notorious of letting in noise and loss of signal. I bought hirshman coax and all metal coax plugs at the Media Markt.. Handyman shops sell them as well. The Coax installation was crap in my house, cheapest of the cheapest plugs, and the coax core was thin and brittle, and not shiny yellow copper. an indication the cable is full of tiny hair cracks and full of corrosion... After replacing the coax cable and plugs the signal improved to 90%. Installing a signal amplifier made sure it was steady 100%. Unless it is about digital signals, these are carried on analogue carrier frequencies, so when these carrier frequencies are not perfect, the FloppyDTV has a hard time to find the digital signal, resulting in stutter and blocking and in worst case no image/sound at all (In my case I could not watch HD channels, or with lots of blocking squeeqy sound etc) I hope this helps again :-) Lots [/QUOTE]
