Having a lot of breakup on this today. TV shows strength 99 and
Quality 100 on BBC1 mux but strength 98 with Quality 0 on ITV. Using
Topfield tuner instead, I still get breakup. Is anyone else seeing
any problems?

Thanks

John

I haven't watched it today before now but it seems fine at the moment.
Quality is showing 99% solidly.

Cheers,

Colin.

Thanks for that Colin. Moving the lead from the Aerial Wall Socket to
the Topfield gave intermittent improvement, so changed it and quality
now solid on 100. Strange how it only seemed to affect 1 mux, and one
that was almost adjacent in frequency rather than the odd Ch67 we
have.

Thanks

John

Probably pick up on the fly lead of some harmonic or something, even a hand
around the lead can affect the signal. In the old analogue days people would
clearly see the patterning but all we have now is this abstract quality
reading.

It really does not indicate the 'why' factor.
