Hi again
Have hooked up Manhattan T3-R to our ancient (Freeview SD only) Panasonic TV. Everything hunky dory, including On Demand apps.
We had a new external aerial fitted a few weeks ago, and the combo of this and pvr amplifying signal means now too strong for TV tuner. Ie can watch TV via pvr and record with no problem. Issue presents when you record something with pvr and switch to tv tuner to watch another channel. Signal strength solid 10/10, but quality drops and picture pixelates.
Bought attenuator, and this solves above problem. Only worry is that I have to connect to coax going into pvr. (Ie prior to signal amplification) You’ll see from photo that barely enough room, with pressure on coax sockets at rear of pvr. I was hoping I could connect attenuator to loop through coax as it goes into tv, but that doesn’t seem to work. (Guess signal must be too strong at that point, despite twiddling the attenuator)
Seems like a bit of a design fault. Has anyone else resolved this issue? (Couldn’t see any smaller attenuators available
Thanks for your time.
