Hi Mike, the key things to take into concideration are
1. how old is your system
- external aerials have a lifespan of about 20 years
2. how good are the connections on the system
3. Is the aerial suitable for your location
4. how (clean) is the signal you are receiving
As you have only recently moved into the area you do not know the history of the system and cannot confirm if it has worked well recently.
The best thing to do is have a system test done which will identify any issues you may have.
I am a Digital Approved Installer who covers the liss area.

Hi Mike Ive lived in Liss since the 80s and the signal has always been dire. You have a choice of 3 transmitters depending on which road you are in. I point to Midhurst and into trees and a hillside. Some are on Isle of Wight and some I believe on Hannington. I have trouble with SDN channels sometimes because I believe there is a clash with Oxford transmitter which is also using CH62. Having said that I do now receive a reasonable service subject to a few glitches on all channels. Best check which direction your aerial is facing and work out which transmmitter you are on.

PS Should have mentioned I have an aerial on the highest point of the roof with a masthead amplifier also a distribution amp in the house taking the signal to various rooms.

General advice for you all.
The location of the aerial is key to good reception.
Not specifically being at the highest point.
You could actually have the aerial lower on the building, but 2 foot to the right.
This could make all the difference.
You should test the reception at different parts of the building before deciding to mount it onto your home.
If you cannot acheive the minimum signal levels required, then dont bother to fit it as you will always have issues.
Once you have acheived the signal needed, you must only fit an amplifier to the system if the amount of connections you are adding to the system subsequently makes your signal drop below the minimum requirement.

Some program's not recording lately & I'm wondering whether the Humax PVR-9200T is past it or are they messing with the program indents they're beaming out. Any ideas? I'd hate to have to buy a new box just now.

Stuart.Probably the latter of what you stated,messing with the program indents they're beaming out.Highly unlikely that a reputable brand like Humax should suffer occasional faults.No need for now at least to purchase a new replacement unless it is faulty (yer box that is) and Humax boxes rarely have faults.Technika on the other hand is the complete opposite and if i were you if you did replace the Humax (if faulty) dont purchase Technika boxes,avoid them at all costs as the majority of them are dodgy.

STUART.
If you can view programs correctly on your box and only have issues when recording, then your box is probably to blame.
Anything electrical can develop a fault at anytime in its life, it doesnt matter how good a brand it is.
Saying that, HUMAX is the best you can get.
Recorder units tend to have issues the older they get, with you constantly recording and deleting recordings, the drive tends to develop issues, a little bit like a computer does with age.

Mark & Jamie - cheers chaps! I've re-tuned & not had the problem since so who knows what it was? I will format the drive soon to perhaps clean that up a little. Incidentally, I can't do automatic re-tunes now as I get two lots of a certain Mux - the BBC Mux. Must be from another close by area lol. I use Humax as I once worked for Philips & Humax use their tuners. They are by far the most sensitive & best in the business in my opinion.
