I have cured the low signal quality issue with my Youview box on COM 7/8 and the solution has really surprised me.
I was round the back of the TV messing with the cables trying to find a solution to the poor signal quality. In order to move one of the cables I had to unplug my Chromecast from the USB port on the Youview box. As soon as I did this I saw the signal quality meter for BBC News HD jump from 15% to 97%.
I thought at first it might have been because I had moved a cable. However, the second I plugged the Chromecast back into the PVR the SQ dropped to 15% again. I tried using the 'wallwart' instead of the USB port but this didn't make any difference. I then moved the Chromecast from the HDMI switch (situated near the PVR) and plugged it directly into HDMI-4 on the TV, which is approx 30 inches from the PVR. The second I did this the SQ jumped straight back to 97%, so obviously Chromecast is the issue.
I'm surprised by this though as the Freeview signal is not on 2.4GHz. Still, it's a result and I'm now getting good SQ on all muxes from the Humax.
I do wonder if the DTR 2100 is not particularly well screened being in this small plastic box.
