<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%">To George’s “there
seems to be no logic” comment I will definitely agree! I have been
running two Backends, both with old Hauppauge 1600’s and 2250 for
earlier Backends. The two systems are separate: two antennae, two
HDP169 pre-amps, even on two separate UPSs (OK, that one was meant
as
a joke). The antennae are probably no more than ten feet apart yet
one system can record a show fine and the other be pixelated, then
the next night the reverse. Have done some experimenting with
forcing which tuner to record on so be consistent; still that
’sometimes’ with the recordings between the two systems. One BE
might have an unwatchable recording while the other is tolerable
if
weather conditions are unfavourable.</p>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%">I think there are
differences in the way various tuners react to fluctuations in
signal
strength, it seems the old tuners (in televisions and the ones we
use
in our computers) seem to have the most problem while the newer
tuners have been tweaked by the engineers to compensate. Still
going
to have some problems but the later generation/s of tuners seem to
work better.</p>
