[QUOTE="joddle, post: 1011849, member: 247983"] Now back from the UK with some attenuators and tried a 10db in line for the Humax - Like magic the missing channels are now all good with a slightly lower SS but SQ now at 100% - I also brought back 2 cheap second hand Manhatten HD boxes and they both operate perfectly with slightly lower SS and SQ readings but are able to pick up everything without the need for an attenuator. So it looks like the issue is my large dish is overpowering the more sensitive receiver in the Humax boxes - I also have an identical Humax box operating in Javea from a 1.2M dish and that has no issues at all and received all channels fine. However I'm not about to junk the 2.4 - it took too much effort putting it up all those years ago:) [/QUOTE]
