Are there any known issues at present with MUX2 on C24?
Reception has gone downhill since Friday evening, now MUX2 is un-useable. Digibox indicates strong signal and good quality.
I am suprised I am having issues at all, as I am in Walderslade, about a mile from the Tx!
May be the box is having issues, but with just the one MUX and all others ok?
