I had to to fit an attenuator to my HDR FOX T2 to get reliable HD channel reception. The tuners in the newer boxes are likely to be of better quality simply down to progress.
Humax have always had quite sensitive tuners compared to other manufacturers which was very desirable prior to analogue switch off. I wonder if the new tuners are a bit less sensitive?

I have now by passed aerial amplifier
signal strength comparison
mux 9200T hdr2000T
49 52% 27%
50 50% 25%
54 n/a 28%
55 52% 26%
58 52% 26%
59 52% 25%
31 n/a 0%
Like other tests carried out. Signal strength reported by HDR-2000T is approx half that of PVR9200T
Did you still get 100% quality ?
I do get 100% quality.
The only reason I started thinking signal strength was problematic was because I had a couple of failed HD recordings in early hours of morning (recording failed : lack of signal). All my SD channels recorded … just failed HD channels.
Have scheduled multiple programs for early hours tomorrow to test it out again.
If it records everything I set then great .. then i’ll keep and use with backroom TV. (not ideal as its not compatible with my main sharp aquos LC-60LE651K TV)

The HDR-2000T is less sensitive for weak signals. My long post #12 was to expalain this. I could have made it longer with more detail of my comparison between an old HDR-FOX T2 and the HDR-2000T!
I wonder if the signal was increased more and more whether an old HDR-FOX T2 would win out over an HDR-2000T or a recent HDR-FOX T2.

I can pick up 3 transmitters, and both the HDR T2 and HDR 2000T correctly tune in the strongest signals from one transmitter – I used to get a mixture of all 3 previously, and therefore had to manually tune.
The HDR-2000T asks which transmitter you want to store the auto-tuning for. It then ignores your choice entirely. If what it did was to store the strongest mux then why ask for which transmitter to store?
Or are you on a new release of the software for the HDR-2000T?
An HDR-FOX T2 using 1.02.32 or 1.03.06 also asks which transmitter to store from and takes that into account. The choice of transmitter tales precedence over which mux is strongest. Which software version for the HDR-FOX T2 are you using?
