I recently took the plunge and moved away from Virgin Media and their V6 box. I purchased an Aura with the expectation that it would "just work". Freeview on my Samsung TV is rock solid and I foolishly thought the same would be true with the Aura. I have a distribution amplifier fitted and had read that there may be some pixelation/breakup issues with excessive signal strength so purchased a variable attenuator.
My findings are below:
Signal Quality
With NO attenuator fitted = 100%
With VARIABLE attenuator fitted = 100% (irrespective of attenuator setting)
Signal Strength
With NO attenuator fitted = 95-99%
With VARIABLE attenuator fitted: lowest setting 90%, highest setting 14%
The ****** Aura pixelates irrespective of attenuator setting. It's driving me mad!
Anyone with any pointers? Close to packaging it up and sending it back!
