Thanks for the very swift response.
Yes - I am in a fringe area for the CP transmitter - however reception on my Sony and Philips TV tuners is fine pretty much all the time (even in the evenings when atmospheric pressure is high). Thinking of swapping the Sagemcom box for the (more expensive) Humax. Is there any way of checking the sensitivity of the tuner (eg technical data) without physically connecting it?
Thanks,
Ian

Address Bishops Stortford CM234EN.
Have roof mounted aerial pointed pointed towards Crystal Palace.
There are 2 TVs in house, both receiving all freeview channels fine
Also have a Sagemcom recorder box for HD channels. Last night (10pm ish and this morning 7am ish) Sagemcom not picking up any channels properly (some not at all, some pixelated) but both TVs fine. This has happened before in the eveinings generally aftyer 9pm. Aerial goes to Sagemcom box before TV so know that input signal to Sagemcom is at least as good as to TVs. Can the sensitivity of the Sagemcom and TV tuners vary so much?
Thanks,
Ian
