My TV is a Samsung Q90T, although I think this question applies generally. My signal goes first through my Humax 2000T recorder before going into my TV. The signal is strong, yet I frequently get momentary picture break-up, with the message for no or weak signal flashing up for a split second.
Without wishing to embarrass myself by using the wrong technical terms, I believe I'm correct in saying that the signal will vary between different multiplexes, with BBC1 HD being the strongest, but in the case of a genuinely weak signal, BBC News HD always being the first to go. I had the local aerial guy round to attend to this and after re-aligning the aerial and adding a signal booster, he jokingly assured me that I'd probably now be able to pick up signals from Norway.
As I'm still getting the same problems, is it possible for a signal to be too strong? I'm assuming that I get the weak signal message because they never thought one to tell you the opposite would be needed and that's the only error message available to display.
BBC1 HD is showing Strength 100% and Quality 100%
BBC News HD is showing Strength 87% and Quality 100%
I never try to record from the news channel, so wouldn't know if the channels coming in via that route all work okay – I think they're all rubbish channels that I never watch. Does anybody know of an easy way to deliberately weaken the signal to see if it stops the problem?
