[QUOTE="Channel Hopper, post: 1019353, member: 175144"] An 'update'. [I]The engineer from Bright Sparks came this afternoon. He quickly established that the strength of the signal was 29 and said that the YouView box will not work at all on less than about 35 and will only partly work on less than 45. I wonder whether the strength of the signal has declined as a result of the removal of the amplifier. The engineer was adamant that the tuner in the box was robust and most unlikely to be the cause of the problem. [B]When I said that the signal that was coming through the recorder worked fine, he replied that the YouView box requires twice the signal that a VCR requires[/B]. We would like to get the YouView box going again. [/I] So, are these boxes manufactured with a 'deaf' tuner? The Panasonic hard drive recorder - DMR 7 series I think ?) that sits above it works seemingly without trouble. Additionally this was giving a final level on each channel between 5 and 10 on the quality - right hand side of the menu - when retuned. [/QUOTE]
