[QUOTE="joddle, post: 1124638, member: 247983"] Hmm - I was not aware the Humax boxes had a crap front end - They seem pretty good to me! Anyway a 2.4m dish in Valencia may be a bit of an overkill but no-one else seems to get the same issues even a short distance away so maybe there is some local interference as well. The overkill is an issue I had come across before but had completely forgotten about and in fact already had an attenuator in one of the only occasionally looked at feeds - and of course that one remained fine but as we did not use it much failed to realise! It was only when testing we came across this and thought that may be answering the problem. Without the attenuator some HD channels and the "Dave" and "Yesterday" group failed or broke up regularly with very high SS but very low SQ readings, or at worst simply stated a bad signal and revealed nothing at all! Now with the attenuator all is restored with moderate to very good SS readings and very high SQ readings. Even the old not so good Manhatten boxes are all working fine now! Still unsure why this all only happened quite recently as for many years all was OK! [/QUOTE]
