Yep, if it's showing max signal, that would be the first thing to try. I
have to use an attenuator for SBS (no amplifier, just a strong signal)

So you were getting pixilation on SBS and that fixed it?

Yep, and even worse was the horrible screeches on the audio. No guarantees
that is your problem however.

I notice that the newer STB's, etc., mute the audio when the signal
fails, so you don't get those horrible noises.

I've reduced the amplifier gain now to minimum. It will be an easy fix
it it's the prob. I had the good sense to locate the splitter just
adjacent to the manhole so I can access it without actually having to
get into the roof cavity.

In that case the cause could be anything.
The storm (even if it's passed you), electrical interference from a neighor
using a bit of equipment, or most likely something in your own house (washing
machine or lights for example), or a whole host of other stuff.

Were you playing with any gear while you recorded it?

I don't recall but I have a lot of other equipment connected
interactively and to the panel. However, doesn't the interference have
to come via the antenna cable? I also have all the video/audio gear
plugged into a Belkin filtration power board.
Switching lights off and on is a common cause of interference for example.
My garage roller door for example will completely blot every single digital
channel. And that's after I've tried all sorts of filtering techniques and
got a proper digital only log-periodic antenna.


Yep, but I'm betting in this case it's a bit of gear in your house switching
on and off while you were recording.

Wouldn't such things cause just a very brief glitch? This is digital
distortion that lasts anything up to a minute. Also I still get the
pixilation on timer record when no one is in the house, and on live TV
of course. I have now turned the amplifier gain to minimum and I plan on
relocating the antenna further from it's present close proximity to the
computer set up.

I guess that's the oposite of a dumb-arse prick ....

If I've misjudged the gentleman I apologise. This was discussion about
digital so his initial remark was obfuscating.
