[QUOTE="CHli, post: 631979, member: 13587"] Hi, I just wanted to point out that having an error free reception on your set-top-box doesn't mean you'll get the same error free reception on another equipment. E.G. I have a set-top-box, a digital everywhere floppy dtv-c and a Terratec Cinergy HD PCI. They are all fed from the same wall plug but they all have different reception quality. [list] [*]The set-top-box is nearly error-free [*]The floppy dtv-c has a glitch now an then [*]The Terratec Cinergy is unusable to watch TV I just use it to grab EPG. [/list] PC's are big electromagnetic noise sources, that can reduce the signal-to-noise ratio at the receiver significantly. Also PCs get hot (or have brutal temperature variations) and some analogue components in digital-tv receivers can suffer from that). I guess you're also using different cables, etc. You see we don't live in an ideal world :) [/QUOTE]
