Sutton Coldfield (Birmingham, England) Full Freeview transmitteThursday 28 March 2013 8:10AM

Watt- do the recorder and the tv show the signals as being on the same frequency ?
the humax may find and store a rogue signal from a different transmitter, resulting in poor quality

Watt- do you have other devices sat on or near your humax ? if so you could try putting the humax in the open (as such).
also a lot of coax behind the tv unit may cause problems ? if they are sat on power cables ?
the humax tuner could be accepting the faults more than the tv does, as jb38 said both names are known for reliabillity though ?

Watt- have you tried by-passing the humax and going direct to tv ? just to see if the tv is ok or takes up the fault itself ?
some recorders do boost the signal through themselves when feeding the tv ?
can you check signal/ quality lavels on the tv when you do this?
also do you know what strength the distributter is ?

Watt- looks like its sorted an a 25 yr old distributor wants to retire ?
just to ask, why is there a 6 way feed in the loft for 2 tv points ?
and do you need a powered distributor foe 2 tv points ?
if ive read this right you now have 2 devices plugged into the elec supply in your loft ?

How do I know if the 4G broadband will overload my Freeview?Thursday 4 April 2013 7:53AM

Ian T- having a quick look at "Z-Wave" and i would ASSUME you may have some problems?
a simple reset to another rf frequency for your equipment should suffice, but,
it may well be that the strength of the Z-Wave could stop 4G working in your house ! (generally the opposite of your worries).
the only trouble you should have will be from any wireless networking in use as the hard cabling products will be shielded.
interesting mate

Richard- it also depends on which transmitter you are aligned to, which way your aerial faces, where you live and if the O2 mast is to be used for 4G
