So we have quite bad pixelation on both our Tivo and Hauppauge HDR-4400 but perfect when playing through the TV directly.
It is so bad that watching TV on Tivo is not pleasant. When I check the signal strength on the Tivo it sits on 83-86 depending on the channel. The situation has gotten gradually worse, I had thought the HDD was on its way our, but since testing on the HTPC tuner I figure it is not that at all. We have noticed our neighbors lawn mower introduces very bad pixelation, but the is on TV, Tivo and HTPC.
I have tried the following.
New cable.
Moving the amplifier closer to the Tivo etc.
Taking out all connections
Moving the cable away from speaker cables etc.
Uncoiling the cable.
Turning off the internet (skinny 4G)
Turning off internet and all phones
Turning off RT in partners company car.
Nothing seems to help long term, everything we try seems to give short term fixes then breaks again.
This is really doing my head in!
What might I try to solve this issue? Is a signal strength of 83-86 insufficient?
