[QUOTE="porky996t, post: 546412, member: 75318"] Hi Ray, Winter Hill is about 4 miles away as the crow flies, (I can see it lit up now as I look out of the front window!) I have tried an attenuator, but this just makes the signal worse. I have even removed the amp and made a direct connection, and I still get breakup of the channels on 746000. With the cards, I got the Peak one when I finally got around to building this HTPC (I've been lurking on the MP site for about 3 years) a couple of months back. The first card I got only had one tuner working so I sent it back to the supplier, the replacement worked fine. With the tuning issues I'd been having since DSO I thought that perhaps the card had buggered up, so I got the Hauppauge one as a back up. The Peak card does seem to be more sensitive, and perhaps more accepting of a poor signal. I'm trying to get my mate around who is an aerial and satellite installer who has some really great bits of kits for checking signals - but, as happens with pals they put prioroty on paying customers and not mates who will buy them several pints in lieu of time spent :rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
