Ex TV Engineer for 30 years. at first I thought was my antenna .. but signal and signal quality is 100% ..
Probably not related to your problem but a signal strength of a 100% may be too high and cause tuner saturation and poor picture quality. My advice is to aim for a signal strength of 85%.
Just thought id add my bit to the 100% Aura signal reading. My signal is medium to low I know this because prior to the 2012 digital switch turning off analogue and ramping up of power from transmitter I could not get terrestrial signal due to living mid way down a vally. The ramping up of power on Pontop Pike approx 2012 saw my dignal go to medium enough to pull in digital chs. Then 2016 a 4g mast was put in line with my house and pontop pike then the 800mhz clearence ch reshuffle saw my chs beak up with dreaded 4g interference. A firm funded by mobile companies to fix peoples issues visited my house with high tech signal reader and Confirmed my medium signal and the 4g was mashing my signal quality up not so much strength. After fitting a Filter which stopped break ups he advised to amp the signal which I Did and even after several ch reshuffles in the latest 700Mhz clearence to folg off to mobiles all was fine till Dec.
A new bigger thicker girthed 5g mast was effrected yards away from the old 4g and all my chs were mashed for a week till the kind people at the 5g help firm deliverd a new 700mhz filter which solved the issue again.
Heres my point I know im fringe to low reception but medium when mast head amp fitted , readings amped show my my Huwandi youview pvr reports 64% strengh both my LG TVs report 74% my sony TV 80% ish but the sony Tv has an embedded amp optional on/off inbuilt so I distrust it reading even more but my Aura declared 100% strength. Granted the Aura tuner could be more sensative then other brands tuners but I find it difficult to accept a signal tested on an expensive engineers gadget designed to pick up 4G 5G interference spikes reported a signal strength mid 40% unamped but mid 60% after amping how on earth does the Aura show as 100% amped 74% unamped. The Aura is guilty of over stating signal strength or at least mine does, infact I firmly believe if another Aura was fitted it would declare a completely different set of stats such is the nature of the beast.
Anyway Pontop pike here N East Eng and NI sign of this pescky blanking out..touch wood :0)
