After following the very fiddly instructions http://myhumax.org/forum/topic/transmitters#post-2336

I am managing to record BBC4 OK (touch wood!) (but now with some reported glitches, not noticeable when viewing).

Is this because the signal from nearer Kendal is stronger than the signal from Lancaster, but the Lancaster pointing aerial is higher gain than from the low gain aerial from Kendal?

But why is this a problem when the old Humax worked perfectly well with the same aerial and automatic settings? There is something not quite right here? Since is works perfectly in normal use, it sounds like insufficient time is being allowed to decide which signal to lock onto.

But thanks.

Can you post a postcode of a pub or church near your home so we can check approx relative field strengths. Combining two aerials can cause issues especially where the uhf channels overlap and this may be causing your issues.

If you have properly carried out manual tuning, the box will only know about the frequencies used by your transmitter of choice so there is no decision to lock on.
