    Yes I know they are old and past it but I'm curious. I sold mine after an upgrade.It has been faultless so I was confident. Two days later the customer rang saying it was locking up, (the picture wasn't freezing) no r\c commands. Went over and sure enough it was after 5 minutes. She doesn't live in a problem area but I was tempted to fit an RF signal reducer,12 db. It has run for 6 months but it's locking again. Took it home and it's perfect, took it apart, scoped all psu lines. All ok. I hate binning stuff, in any event it can go in my bedroom, I still feel confident it would freeze again in the woman's house. I have supplied the customer with a brand new one. Up to now, perfect, odd though. In the olden days it was a known problem if you had excessive signal but I thought this problem was long gone. Cheers anyone.

    No. It's now in the digital age (since the power increases at DSO) that too large a signal causes major problems. Living near a main transmitter with a high gain aerial (like wot they frequently used to fit) can cause tuner overload which screws up it's linearity/phase response and destroys the picture/sound.
