Just last night (while waiting for the rugby replay!) PrimeTV and Maori TV have been unwatchable due to freezes every 2 seconds.
The sound keeps playing, but picture freezes for about 10 seconds, before turning black briefly then playing another few seconds.
I initially thought it was due to last night's bad weather, but it's still happening today.
Been up on the roof and checked and rechecked the alignment of the UHF aerial - all seems good. Currently aiming at Te Aroha from Hamilton, but also tried the 'Infill' transmitter in the Hamilton CBD (the problem here is that the HT3000 doesn't seem to want to save the setting after using the 'Regional Scan').
Prime & Maori have pretty bad reception when I tried analog - but have always done so, and I'm curious as to why they are bad on digital, when ALL the other channels are fine (TVNZ, C4, Chinese etc etc.).
Gear: Homecast HT3000
Bad reception?
Dying HT3000?
Something else?
