I initially thought it might be leaves. What threw me onto the wrong track after 
that was the breakup looking very different to on other PVRs and STBs, and also 
the audio being unaffected.

TBH, those Hauppauge tuners were doing a great job. My aerial goes to our main 
PVR, then to a splitter, then down about 25 metres of cable to where the backend 
currently is, then through a dodgy UHF lead I had handy to yet another splitter! 
Despite this, the picture was perfect until Emley Moor switched to the backup 
transmitter.

I'll relocate the backend on Saturday, and also retire the old analogue DVD 
player/recorder, geexbox media player and SCART matrix switch.

Regards

Ian
