I have had the Humax player for a few weeks now and it is a good idea, however I am having either reception problems or soething is wrong with the player
When I watch programmes on the TV everything is fine, however when watching programmes recorded on the FVP-4000T 25% of the time they don’t work.
The recorded programme works for about 1 minute then goes pixelated and stops.
I originally let the player auto tune, but have since manually retuned the player to ensure the proper channels are being used, but still the problem persists.
Any ideas?

The first question for this sort of problem is always what is the signal strength AND quality as reported by the Humax on the channels where you have problems?
Welcome to our Forum
When you say watching live TV do you mean via the FVP 4000T or TV internal tuner?
What signal strength/quality is reported in settings for channels you are having problems with?
Edit: Martin beat me to it
When we watch live TV it is viewed going through the internal tuner.
The current signal strength is 97% Quality 100%, a few nights back I checked and it was 98% & 99%

Your problem is most likely too high a signal strength. Fitting an attenuator in the aerial lead should resolve the problem for a few pounds eg Link to variable attenuator on ebay. I would aim for a signal strength around 80%.
It’s a possible solution, and for under £4 may be worth a go – thanks
