Hey techman, I'm a southerner, but only just... My aerial is a newish hills number, and I installed it pointing in the same direction as everyone elses... so assumed it would be ok... might need to get up there and re-direct it... maybe the weather has pushed it out of direction? Although, i get almost 100% signal when tuning in mythtv using the hdhomerun, and it finds every channel apart from SBS ones (it find all stations in the windows software!)... so i would think it less likely to be an antenna directional problem? My myth-based PCI cards find ALL channels at the 30-40% strength (including SBS), so further evidence suggesting that the antenna is ok? Interesting that you experienced a degradation in signal during a R6 upgrade.. It is probably what happened to me also, but my signal strength was even lower than yours to begin with, so started seeing pixellation and audio pops after upgrade... I spose we'll never know what in the R6 upgrade caused the signal degredation, but it's odd that it would be worse on upgrade? Cheers, Nathan |

Possibly some firmware issues, which should be resolvable. If you want, we can tee up a day, you can come round and plug in to my antenna. Maybe share knowledge/beer. One thing I did whilst I was building the motivation to climb on the roof (well my dad did the climbing as he got motivated when the family came over for easter) was I used a set of rabbit ears in a window that faced the direction of the antennas, in my last 3 houses the rabbit ears were better than the roof antenna. We own the current house, so getting the motivation to fix the antenna was easier. |

Thanks for the offer of plugging into your antenna, and most importantly the beer... I might have to take you up on that one, but at the moment I've got my hands full with a 2month old baby, and inlaws... so time for "being a geek" is restricted to once everyone has gone to bed... |

Too easy, I'm pretty snowed with work at the moment, but no baby just a mischievous 18 month old Beagle! |
