    just bought the 2000t installed ok channel scan ok

    after a week i found picture break up on the standard def channels only.

    hd channels are fine.

    appears to be very low signal strength i have re-tuned and manual tuned the unit as well.

    is there anything else i can do is the unit faulty??

    tv signal is fine at 100%

    thanks.

    i think about 40%

    its a new unit so still getting used to all the settings etc.

    there is a strength and quality gauge not sure whats more important in the lower left when info is pressed both have 1 bar

    hd channels are ok in terms of no brake-up and work ok its the sd channels which are not so good

    iv’e done and auto tune without the aerial then retuned again finding all channels.

    after a manual tune and playing around picture breakup has not happened tonight but its the weak signal that i am worried about.

    could it be a faulty unit??

    Welcome to the Forum :-)

    Whilst I appreciate you have stated that you have tried a manual tune, try reading this post re how to tune manually:

    Hello

    Further investigation did a full reset and manual scan ,was scanning incorrectly for the had channels not selected dvt-2 ?? Which picked all the hd channels

    All channels have %100 strength and %40 quality I thinks that’s the right way round.

    Didn’t get any break up last night so I think it’s ok

    Hadn’t done a manual scan before so I know what I’m doing now

    Thanks for the help will monitor things over Xmas time.

    Ian.

    No that is probably the wrong way round. 100% quality is almost essential for satisfactory viewing. I would regard 40% as an acceptable signal strength but without much margin of safety.
