</div>Should be no artifacts, Mark, what signal levels are you getting there? I'll compare with the signal I get on mine. From memory I<br>
get 70 to 95% depending on the Mux. (I guess you know you can check the transmission data / video integrity also using VLC - given<br>
enough CPU horsepower - and stream to a file - also direct from the HDHomerun. I can detail the commands if you need however the<br>
Development manual from the Silicon Dust Web site should tell you all...)<br>
<br></blockquote></div><br>Just checked using the HDHomerun util and I get the following for the three different MUX's<br><br>TV1 etc Signal Strength 84% Signal Quality 66% Symbol Quality 100%<br>TV3 etc Signal Strength 88% Signal Quality 84% Symbol Quality 100%<br>
Prime etc Signal Strength 89% Signal Quality 89% Symbol Quality 100%<br><br>So if signal quality is the one I should care about then it looks I need to improve the signal for the TV1 MUX but the others don't look too bad. This is from an indoor aerial I recently purchased to replace the home built one (<a href="http://uhfhdtvantenna.blogspot.com/">http://uhfhdtvantenna.blogspot.com/</a>), both are in the roof space. The home built one performed remarkably well but it was starting to suffer a bit from the heat (the cardboard was starting to wilt).<br>
