      Arq A/Com 5 problems

      Call the aerial installer back under Guarantee... it was only 6 months ago. It may only need the aerial raising up a bit to change the signal level on the Arq A frequency (maybe at the expense of one of the others, though). Wolfbane predicts for that provided postcode at 10 metres above the...

      Arq A/Com 5 problems

      Doh! Of course not. But it is sort of true when in the manual tuning sub menu, when the metering is shown. (Waning powers mean I wasn't 100% clear first time ;) ). Used it frequently when caravanning to find the best transmitter from known frequencies with the HDR and moving the aerial...

      Arq A/Com 5 problems

      Exactly how long ago was the new aerial and other system changes done? It may still be under guarantee? If so call the installer back to rectify the problem. A picture of the aerial would allow comment on likely quality / gain etc.,.? A nearby postcode would allow me the use of prediction...

      What is the purpose of ITV3+1 & ITV4+1?

      The ITV N +1s seem to have a full schedule on Freesat according to my Foxsat-HDR therefore also on $ky, I expect... Possibly on Virgin cable, too. Albeit only SD format, but for how much longer ITV will keep them gong I have no idea. Freeview it's a lack of capacity and selling that to higher...

      "Is ITVX on Aura a lesser version?"

      ITV X, like BBC iPlayer has to customise their streaming feeds to different devices' abilities... hence the loss of support for some older devices (Foxsat-HDR and HDR-Fox-T2) as the user base diminishes... Does the Aura support live BBC iPlayer viewing...

      EE TV app and DTR-T2000

      HD live picture break up now HD mux is on offset channel

      Tuner offset will be well inside any Automatic Frequency Correction (AFC) circuitry within the bought-in tuner blocks that the -T2 uses. The number displayed will just be a limitation due to some lookup table within the software Humax wrote for the display of it. NB Offsets are +/- 167 MHz...

      DTR-T2000 Sound just cuts out during live TV

      HDR-fox-T2 poor signal strength

      I have no absolute faith that Q of 100% on any humax = zero (uncorrectable?) errors. On Foxsat-HDR the Q can be less than 100 with no obvious artefacts seen. OPs Sony was reporting received errors, but all were correctable, on a different outlet/cable. So it is a bit of a mystery... without...

      HDR-fox-T2 poor signal strength

      So fitting the filter (should have) ruled out 5G / 4G interference. EDIT Therefore it's probably not needed. But you now have 80% Q rather that 100% form the other day so more errors in the received signal for whatever reason. S at 48% staying the same. I refer you back to my earlier post...
