Hi All
Probably my first post if not first for a long long time.
Just moved to an area with Freeview reception and bought a cheap Tesco stb to "test" the aerial. Reception seems to be great (near as dammit 100% signal), picture is great on all channels but...
...on all channels (tv and radio) tried so far there are often gaps in the audio. Normally not more than a second or so but annoying nonetheless, especially at critical moments in whodunnits!
Sometimes the gap is longer and flicking channels and back seems to clear it so my suspicion is the stb (Tesco Technika somethingorother).
Never having experienced Freeview before I just wondered if this is most likely the stb or buffering at the transmitter end - we're receiving from the Sandy transmitter in Beds - and figured this is the best place to ask.
Any thoughts much appreciated before I make a twit of myself taking the stb back!
Cheers
Guy
