This is digital TV, the picture quality shouldn't be influenced by the signal strength providing it is neither too high nor too low. I would suggest a signal strength between 50% and 90% will result in the same picture quality.

Yes MyHumax has a Personal Message function.

I have been told that post #104 was passed on to Humax; has there been any improvement on PSB2?

I can confirm that it is a conduit to the broadcasters.

I think they share the same circuit board and the differences are small. The 1800-T has one USB port, the HDR-2000T has two USB ports. The remote controls are different. The 1800-T uses a 2.5" hard drive, the 2000T uses a 3.5" hard drive. The cases are different colours. In summary they are...

I can confirm that the problem appears to be fixed on the Chesterfield transmitter.

It varied a bit but was usually within a month of the end of the beta test. I don't know. A guess would be that it took Humax much longer than they expected to produce software that was deemed worth beta testing.

Are you aware that previous Humax beta tests have required the people doing the tests to remain silent?

My understanding is that the information has now been passed to someone at Humax with contacts at the broadcasters.
