Nothing fancy just terrestrial digital TV broadcasts. This is DVB-T broadcasts, right? Standard TV coax, which is often described as "low-loss" is anything but. For DVB signals you need to be using double shielded coax, such as CT100 or equivalent. Not only should the cable from the wall plate to the tuner card be CT100, but even more importantly so should the downlead from the aerial to the wall plate.
As to why it works when the SB3 is switched off, I suspect that even though it "works", it's borderline. The slightest interference is going to kill it: DVB signals are extremely vulnerable to interference. The SB3's stock power supply is know to spray around a fair amount of RFI, so that could be why switching on the SB3 stops it working. -- cliveb Transporter -> ATC SCM100A ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cliveb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=348 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=36327 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
