I wonder how much signal degradation (if any; there must be a little I'd guess) the Aerial Out port of the HDR Fox T2 causes? Currently I have the main aerial of the house hooked up to the HDR Fox T2, and the Aerial Out goes into the Sony BRAVIA TV, which is useful when using Picture And Picture for HDMI output of one of many devices (not limited to the Humax) side by side with a channel provided by the TV, i.e. keeping an eye on a file transfer on the HTPC while watching some kind of sport, I do like split screen for utility. I don't notice any signal breakup or picture issues on either device normally so it's minimal enough to be a non-issue.
Now, I'm thinking of introducing a custom firmware 2TB HDR Fox T2 to the same room, based on my mostly overwhelmingly positive experiences with the current main custom firmware 4TB HDR Fox T2, specifically for my partner's shows which are starting to clash with things I want to record, i.e. doubling the amount of tuners available and able to have completely separate recording schedules - and of course, separate remote codes so unpredictable things don't happen! At this point we're looking at daisy-chaining main feed to Humax 1 Aerial In, Aerial Out of that into Humax 2 Aerial In, then aerial out of Humax 2 into Sony BRAVIA TV Aerial In. Is this going to provide any serious issues with a signal the current HDR Fox T2 rates as averaging 70-80% on both strength and quality (odd considering the nearest transmitter is less than 5 miles away; methinks it may soon be time for a roof climb and aerial realign as I didn't fit it), what do you guys with any practical experience make of it?
