[QUOTE="joecrow, post: 1216693, member: 128337"] Based on my own experience I can echo how important it is to have the antenna in the "right" position. I live in the centre of Munich where according to the DVBT2 coverage map I only need an indoor antenna, with DVBT1 I had no problems every channel came in really strong on a DVBT2 approved indoor active one and most worked OK on just a tiny passive DVBT1 one. With DVBT2 though durring the test phase I could only get the HD channels to play if I hung the active attena out of the window, anywhere indoors was a nogo. I subsequently had to purchase a DVBT2 approved outdoor active antenna which is now fixed to the wall outside and works very well. I would also be worried about those high CPU times I'm seeing 15-20% with MP playing Das Erste HP (my GPU does support HEVC though). Update:- Just tried Das Erste HD with GPU HEVC deselected in LAV and CPU shot up to over 60% and playback stutters. [/QUOTE]
