I've recently moved to a new rental house and am having freeview reception issues. TVNZ mux is fine but TV3 et al are having major issues. I am using an HVR-2100 with 7MC. Occasionally the channels work fine. I even had a week with no issues whatsoever. But 90% of the time I only get garbled junk cutting in and out (or nothing at all) and the "weak" or "no" signal message from MC.
Seems odd that it would work OK for a week (although it was munted before that) and then not work again. Perhaps a good gust of wind got it? It's not a codec issue but a reception issue. EPG collector grabs the epg fine and MC tunes the channels in fine, I just can't watch 'em...
I can't get on the roof without buying a large ladder (house is 3 stories...), so I assume there is nowt I can do except get an aerial guy in now? Any way to test signal strength on a PC or other options?
Cheers
