    Breakup of Recent BBC 4 Recording

    Recently recorded from BBC4, on viewing there was a lot of picture breakup. Have now looked at the Signal strength from TV, it's showing BBC1 as 87% but BBC4 as 75% I'm on the Tacolneston transmitter. Is this a normal reduction from BBC1 to 4? Also where can I find the Multiplexer chart for...

    On occasions losing end of recorded programme

    OK, I understand. Also I just realised why the last programme I recorded was cut short. I had recorded two consecutive programmes both with a start padding of 2 minutes & both with a end padding of 10 minutes. On playing the programme recorded first it was cut short. But on playing the...

    On occasions losing end of recorded programme

    Ref this part of my last post:- One thing to state the obvious on Accurate Recording, as I can't find anything in the User Manual, can I assume this is selected when both the start & end padding is set to 0? I just want to be certain that I'm not missing anything.

    On occasions losing end of recorded programme

    Now read the information supplied by "Black Hole" & it appears there are advantages/disadvantages with using both Padding & Accurate Recording. One thing to state the obvious on Accurate Recording, as I can't find anything in the User Manual, can I assume this is selected when both the start &...

    On occasions losing end of recorded programme

    On two occasions recently I have lost the end of recorded programmes. I have the setting for "End Programme Pad" set for the maximum of 10 minutes. Is this a known fault or was it caused by the channels changing the programme times slightly? I'm not using Customised Software, the version in the...

    Picture Quality/Breakup

    The aerial is on the roof, the wiring is within the walls, there are no other "gubbins" What is the DA? Think it's the Transmitter work that is causing the current problems Just wish somebody would advise the best site to get Transmitter information, I've asked enough times

    Picture Quality/Breakup

    1 Thanks for information about the Engineering work. Is this the best web site to see progress? http://www.digitaluk.co.uk/help_and_advice/engineering_works 2 Regarding mains filters, is the SLX2P filter the type I should get?

    Picture Quality/Breakup

    We already have, in the attic/loft, a Labgear Muliway Distribution Amplifier type 262. So does this rule out the "Mains filter"? If not is there a suggested type, or is the SLX2P filter mentioned the type to get? We do not live near an airport/ there are no trees near by. Also remember this...

    Picture Quality/Breakup

    As said in initial post, I'm on Tacolneston Transmitter. We have no dimmer switches/& the microwave was not being used during the problem times, as to the freezer it seems OK. As to 4G I'm not sure if this has started in the area, Post Code IP19. So it looks as if there is not a solution?

    Picture Quality/Breakup

    Black Hole, Perhaps my wording was inaccurate re the HD Tuner. I was trying to say that in the past I have had HD quality pictures & hence feel that the Spec. of the TV was acceptable for HD Also if the manufacture, Sony, said it was HD ready I assume that I would get HD quality pictures. When I...
