My Humax HDR Fox T2 occasionally loses the signal for a fraction of a second or a few seconds. The signal strength is fine. An engineer has checked the aerial. I have high quality, screened aerial and HDMI leads. The break-up did not happen on my previous PVR.

The box has very sensitive tuners, you could simply have too much signal or perhaps the channels you want have been stored in the 800's and a weaker transmitter has been stored at the normal lcn's. Try an attenuator if there aren't any in the 800's.

My signal level has been checked by an engineer and adjusted accordingly. I have no 800s. The HDR Fox T2 just doesn't seem fit for purpose.

I have a HD FOX T2. no problems at all.

> Musictechguy, same thing happens to my T2.
All my aerial set up was fully tested and new aerial and booster added last year, I was having problems so engineer spent ages doing loads of tests on it for signal strength, etc.
It does seem much more sensitive to everything than my old 9200T PVR| Thu 18 Oct 2012 12:11:21 #5 | -

It does seem much more sensitive to everything than my old 9200T PVRIt just seems that the Humax products are not fit for purpose. I'm directly in line to a transmitter.

That's exactly the source of your problem. At DSO the signal strength is increased by 10dB. If you can see the transmitter you can probably use a coathanger to view.

http://www.aerialsandtv.com/ampsandsplitters.html#AttenuatorNo, as I said. An engineer has been around, reduced the strength of the reception, and ensured that it is within normal parameters The transmitter is not that close.

How exactly did he do that without using an attenuator ?
