That's very promising. It may be that Watt is unlucky enough to have a bottom-of-the-spec (or even duff) unit, or more hopefully, some relatively minor and easily fixed problem within the signal path. I had hoped the Humax would have coped; as I remember it the 'nominal' domestic temperature...

With the greatest respect for Ezra and Black Hole for their invaluable work, I offer some insight from my own Electronics experience. Personally, I would strongly suspect temperature as the culprit - both historic and the circumstantial evidence are strong indicators. Watt may be on the edge of...
