Hey Guys,
im new to this forum so please go easy and i apologize in advance if i post in the wrong section.
CPU: Quad Core Q6600
RAM: 2gig corsair match pairs
GFX Card: Geforce 8800gt 512
Mobo: Gigabyte (not sure exactly which model till i get home)
TV Tuner: DViCO FusionHDTV DVB-T Dual Digital 4 (black) (worst purchase in my entire life
)
Using Xbox360 as extender connected to Samsung 46" m8 LCD
After setting everything up and being quite happy that i got the card to work in VMC i went to sleep quite pleased. Waking up today i turned my 360 on and went to Live TV and again a smile came upon my face as i was faced with a crystal clear channel 9, Decided to flick over to 7HD and my smile turned into a frown.
I got the report that there was No TV Signal on channel 7 yet all other channels were fine. Occasionally i would get a strobe of sound come through or a flickr of image appear on screen and once a completly green screen but apart from that all it would display is No Tv Signal
After trying the really really really bad software that shipped with the DViCO tuner i realised that i couldnt receive channel 7 thru any software.
My question is (after all that) is i seem to be receiving 70% signal strength on channel 7 but on every other channel my signal strength is around 90% or more. The lowest being channel 9 at 89%.
Is my issue the fact that channel 7 signal strength is simply too weak for the tv card ?? (my inbuilt HD receiver in my samsung LCD picks up all channels perfectly fine)
im assuming this is simply a signal strength issue (i hope).
Any more experienced users out there that could shed some light on my situation or offer suggestions to try and fix the problem.
Would a signal booster help ??
What kind of booster should i look for ?
P.S: im in SA if that makes any difference at all
P.S.S: are there any 3rd party programs out there to check signal strength and Biterror ?? - i really dont trust this DViCO crowd at all
Advance thanks for any replys.
