TV Pixelation and pic freeze while audio plays on? (1 Viewer)

Hi

Sometimes when (usually my wife!) is watching recorded DVB-T the pic pixelates and freezes while the audio keeps playing.


Is this more likely to be reception or HDD speed? Suggestions welcome.

....or networking issues (remember the MP - TV server connection is via the network stack). I've had temporary WLAN/DHCP issues which have messed up TV even though TV-server was linked to the MS loopback adaptor (a virtual network card).

Are these temporary interruptions or does the video stay frozen ?

If you are that close to the transmitter you might have too much signal - have you tried an attenuator on the attenna input ?
