Just tried tuning in QVC and it doesn't work, can't understand how I've
never noticed that before :-)

I'm on a shared antenna in a block of flats, so I've got no chance of
getting it changed, but it turns out that I've got some useful info in
the backend log.  the signal looks low at 3232, but is an snr of c000
ok? Also are the

Transport Stream Continuity Error. PID = 6017

lines indicative of signal dropout?


Here's the log, Note that another program (University Challenge) started
recording at the same time.
