Freeview reception - all about aerials | Installing
Wednesday 30 November 2011 6:56PM

I'm in B28 using the Sutton Coldfield transmitter with a Technika 8320HD PVR. Now that analogue's off in my area I was hoping for good HD reception.

According to the 8320HD, all channels have a signal strength around 76%.

SD channels, ITV1 HD and CH4 HD have Quality of 100% and SNR around 32%.

Both BBC HD channels have Quality of 75% and SNR around 24%.

Is there anything that I can do?

JB38,

My aerial is a High Gain Class 1 on the chimney stack with a 3-way amplifier in the loft.

I'm never sure that the 8320HD is telling me the truth. The figures sometimes change depending whether you're going up or down the list of channels.

This morning it's saying that all SD channels are fine and all HD channels have Quality around 75% and SNR around 24%.

I'll have to be more thorough in my testing. The picture seems OK on HD, maybe the box has trouble recording HD signals.
