[QUOTE="daveyboy, post: 28291, member: 11973"] Just out of interest, what do people consider to be a marginal signal for DVB? My tv (built-in freeview) reports signal quality of between 50% and 70%, depending on the channel. I only notice the occasional green flash on the telly. I upgraded to shorter, high quality cables recently and got a 10-20% improvement. But I get lots of skipping on the PC. Last night was particularly bad on Channel 4, but fine on the TV. WAF was way down ;) Strangely on Wednesday I recorded a full half-hour program without a single skip, for the first time ever. I'm going to try the fixes/reg entries etc. listed here to see if it makes a difference on the weekend. I might also try a more recent CVS build, see if the DVB problems have been resolved (currently using build from 11-11). [/QUOTE]
