Hi all,

I have a Sony TV with built-in Freeview receiver and the signal on the TV is perfect. I can watch all Freeview (DVB-T) channels without issues or interruptions. I also have a HTPC with a Hauppauge HVR 4000, but using the HTPC the signal is pretty unstable. I get a few hours a day with perfect reception but then there are lots of times where I can't watch at all (signal drops below 75%). I use the same connection/cable for both - TV and HTPC. When the signal cuts out on the HTPC I can simply change the cable and everything is perfect on the TV, but really I would like to use the HTPC only.
Can anybody think of a reason why there would be such a difference between the quality?
Would a different receiver make a difference? I am thinking about getting a SiliconDust HDHomerun but wanted to check whether anybody had other experiences with quality of reception between different receiver types?!

Thanks a lot,

Frederik
