MikeP: When i said,on/off it was assumed that people use their brain and leave as you say five minutes,DO I HAVE to explain things to the nineth degree.In my area,there are power supply breaks which indeed are quick,no damage so far,although i am aware that boxes can be damaged,n...................

MikeP: it is called common sense really,where i live,the only tx is oxford,theres some signal from hannington,but really oxford is sufficent,it seems theres a lot of multipath reception dragging down the quality but as the signal strength is high,the copper dipole is more than adequate,one just moves it around,i'm more interested in radio reception,n...........

BRIAN,i've just noticed the test card notice on channel 200 but don't have that on oxford,only 250/600/601,is there any alternative please,nicholas.............

Cas: I think i may have the answer,my sd box expired today but i had a hd box also,and the channel u mentioned was on the oxford main station,so possibly you may have to upgrade to a hd box,just a thought.

Ian,i personally had a lot of trouble with the humax brand as regards signal quality,in my case the quality meter was swinging like a yoyo even though i live in a swamp location,its possible yr incoming cable has been affected and the particular channel has disappeared due to suck out,if you can,replace the coax and plugs and see what happens...........n

hi mike,i'm sorry,i dont wish to give postcode for various reasons,but one isn't far from beckley,lets say,you can get a picture without an aerial,i just have an indoor aerial,sufficent here,but do think people need to maintain their aerial systems if feasible,the coax wouldnt last forever and some areas suffer from signal twist,some viewers need to incline aerials upward to see if this improves things,n....................

Hi,perhaps just for test purposes,an indoor aerial could be tried,just to ascertain local conditions.n.....

hI,I think everyone has to take a step back and learn something,UHF radio waves are like light waves,in spite of high tx powers,there are areas that are below the radio horizon,signals can be bounced off local objects and the signal field will cancel ,sometimes putting a tv aerial on the roof may not be the best place,good signals can be found in funny places,perhaps freesat maybe could be better option for certain people,If people listen to advice then that would a way forward and not run around like a headless chickens...n

I see many people have problems with their fview boxes,i have found if you switch them on/off for a second it seems to stop the freezing,when my humax starts freezing,an on/off cures it till the next time,n...
