    hi martin
    thanks for the reply i sorry i not to sure which signal you mean if the 2 i gave above werent the ones you asked a bout.

    Watch something live via the Humax. Press Menu>Settings>System>Signal Detection; tell us the strength and quality numbers. Then from the signal detection menu press the right arrow (to the right of the OK button) and tell us the list of numbers.

    i have been paying more attention to the errors and before the player blanks out with the channel is scrambled or not available message. it seems that the harddrive seems to go into over drive working very hard. also on some of the recorded programs the are parts missing as though there was a break in the recording.

    That sounds like a hard drive or file system problem. Assuming you are running the latest software try Menu>Settings>System>Data Storage>HDD Test should take a minute or two; tell us what it reports.

    I would say the signal strength of 24% is your problem; the signal quality is fine but the low signal strength means there is very little margin to cope with interference etc. You haven't answered my request for the channels numbers that are obtained from the signal detection screen by pressing right arrow. If you can provide a list of those and say roughly where in the country you are we can see if the low signal strength is a result of mistuning or something else.
