    Hi,

    I have had the 500t for about 6 months but for the last couple it has been pixelating on some channels or displaying the no signal message.

    I live in a strong signal area but the box is a fair way, 30m or so from the antenna.

    I have tried rebooting, retuning and resetting the box.

    It is up to date software wise.

    I tried the TV without the box, through a booster near the antenna and I can see the troublesome channels with 100% quality and 70% signal strength.

    Without the box I get 100% quality and 60% signal strength.

    If I retune the box with the booster on I only get 25 or 39 channels.

    With the booster bypassed I get 112.

    But with the booster bypassed the TV is crap.

    I have not looked at the antenna yet, if I get a dry day I will.

    I am a bit lost tbh, is there a booster, my current one and antenna have been up a long time, more compatible with Humax?

    It worked well at first.

    How is the signal being fed to the TV (via a splitter or from the aerial out socket of the Humax)?

    The aerial out socket.

    Do you have power saving in standby set to off?

    Which means the TV will receive a weak signal when the Humax is in standby.

    I fitted a new booster, All In One, and a new splitter at the Humax.

    Perfect signal on Humax and TV.

    I have not fitted the new antenna yet, waiting for a dry day.
