MikeB: I don't have answers to those questions: all I know is that after a number of us complained in October Arquiva said they were "looking into it and viewers could expect an improvement soon." Which means there was a fault,or so I interpret it. That same fault is ongoing, in fact as I type this on the Nexus I've just seen MotorsTV glitch, which makes three times in the last hour. All my kit is on a mains filter, and anyway I never get any problems ever with any other MUX. The two Humax receivers have, I believe, different tuner chips but both exhibit the same behaviour. The original complaints came from all over the NW and involved Humax, Sony and Panny equipment so it wasn't just isolated cases. I am simply trying to get this resolved one way or another because it's frustrating having HD recordings messed up by this glitch, which has been going on for long enough.

It seems at last a few more people are becoming aware of this long running fault. Please, all of you,report it to DigitalUK using the option COMPLAINT which I have found gets a fairly swift response.

This is very encouraging news, and long overdue. Keep on complaining until we get it corrected. It also vindicates those of us who were becoming regarded as mutters.

For the last half hour at least Com7 has been on and off with severe drop outs here on the Fylde coast, much worse than usual I hope it is the engineers tinkering to resolve the ongoing issue.
