jb38: I have checked the signal quality on Mux Ch21 and it is at a steady 100% with signal strength of 80%.
I have carried out a factory re-set and when I do this I get loads of extra 800 channels so had to do another manual search and all the channels tuned in no problem with the exception of the Mux Ch24 which are all grouped under Channel 0.
I can't understand why the 'flickering' problem is only appearing on STV HD. Have I posted in the wrong section re this?
Thanks for your help!

I have an Humax HDR Fox T2 which I got a few weeks ago.
I have been getting all four HD channels with no problems until about a week ago when STV HD developed a lip sync problem.
This 'disappeared' but has been replaced by a very annoying 'flickering' which is hard to describe but is almost like when you see someone taking a photo on telly using flash. It can happen every couple of minutes and is so distracting I can't watch it!
My signal quality is 100% and signal strength about 80%.
I can't understand why this is the only HD channel affected?
My transmitter is Rumster Forest.

jb38: I only get the 800 channels if I carry out an auto tune. When I do a manual search I get the channels at the correct signal quality but they are not in the correct order and all grouped together under Channel O.
I forgot to say that when it starts tuning it shows 10 channels as being found but at the end it shows 20 although there are only 10 listed.
I will certainly try carrying out a scan without the aerial connected as you suggest. Think I'll leave it until Monday as need a rest!
A message did come up during the scan to say that multiple channels had been found and to confirm that the area I live in is the North of Scotland. I thought it should be Highlands and Islands?
Re the flickering it is only STV HD which is affected. All the other HD and SD channels are fine.
I really, really appreciate your help.

jb38: I forgot to say that my reception problems have been sorted with a new aerial and coax cable. The signal quality is now a consistent 100% and signal strength is between 75% and 80%

jb38: No sorry I meant my 'past' reception problems which you referred to have been sorted.
The problem with STV HD remains I'm afraid.
I do think I may have a faulty unit.

jb38: Benny London:
I can't find anyone in my area who has STV HD. I did post on local forum but haven't had a reply.
Benny I don't get the channels in their proper place at all so just deleting the extra 800 channels won't work.
I do have the latest firmware on my PVR and all the other channels are working perfectly so can't be the television.
My tv is a Panasonic and not that old.
I really appreciate your input though.
It's just really frustrating not knowing why this is happening to one channel only. I know this to be a fact as I've gone through them all.

Benny I forgot to say that I tried changing the v-format and that made no difference so am completely stumped. :(

Okay this is getting weird!
I was watching STV HD and there was no flicker and then noticed the STV logo has gone!!!
Still can't tune into Mux Channel 24 but wonder whether this is connected since it contains STV?
I am trying to find out about the Rumster Forest transmitter.
I'll just be happy if the flickering stays away! :)

Benny: Well the flickering has stopped on STV HD so I am really hoping it stays away.
I do wonder whether they have been working on this channel as the STV HD was visible during part one of a programme, visible in part two and missing again in part three!
Yes the HDMi is direct to the telly and not via an amp.
To be honest I don't really feel like moving the hummy to another telly as I have a back problem.
I do have all the channels tuned in correctly apart from Mux Channel 24. I might indeed try the attenuator as you suggest. Thanks!

Is anyone else having problems with STV HD? I have an Humax HDR Fox T2 and a couple of weeks ago there was problem with lip sync on this channel but only lasted one night.
This has now been 'replaced' by a really annoying 'flicker' which looks like someone is using a camera flash! It can happen from every minute to every 5 minutes which is soooo distracting!
It is the only channel which is affected so cannot be connections or the telly etc.
Along with this I am having real problems tuning in the Mux containing STV, Channel 4 and 5 etc. An autoscan results in lots of extra channel and using Manual search results them in all being grouped together under channel 0.
My transmitter is Rumster Forest.
I've only had the PVR for about three weeks and everything was fine until a week ago.
If anyone can help I'd be very, very grateful.
