Hi,
Really struggling with an issue that has started in the last few weeks, I am tuned to the Sutton Coldfield transmitter. The aerial was only put up a few months ago and has been working fine until mid-January. The cabling is routed from the chimney mounted aerial, under the tiles and into the loft space. A splitter is fitted there and it runs down to the lounge and the back of the Humax HDR Fox T2. The reasons for the splitter is that when I get around to it I plan to run a cable into the bedroom. The cabling is all new Webro WF100.
It has been working without issue then for some reason it has recently started to have picture break up.
I watch 99.9% of my TV from recordings, the box's storage is almost full, only about 20GB of storage left though at times it has got to 0GB left, though it has been like this in the past and not had any issues (the reason I raise this point is that I read this as a possible cause while trying to find a solution)
I have done all the usual searches on the internet and still I am getting the issues having tried various things raised in the threads I have read.
What seems to happen is that the Quality goes from 100% to 0% or very low for a short period then springs back up to 100%.
I can't figure out a pattern for the time of the day, it seems to happen randomly. Likewise it seems to happen to all channels that I have had recordings done on.
The aerial doesn't seem to have moved at all and as I say 99% of the time it seems to work fine but just when you get to that crucial bit of a show it seems to break up and jump forward say 60 seconds, or it seems to break up and kind of be watchable but not really.
I am really getting frustrated by it as I can't seem to figure out a way to fix it and it is spoiling a lot of shows I have recorded, especially series that I record then watch all in one go only to find them breaking up and no longer being on catch up so just have to put up with missing bits.
I am going to try and get a different box from a friend, a non Humax box, and see if it is perhaps the box coming to the end of its life???
Any help or advice would be fantastic and very much appreciated!
