thanks for listening guys.

Darren, if it comes to that, you can have the unit, but ill be keeping the two hdd's.
(i can use them in my PC.....)

ill try a signal booster and see if that improves things any. then i guess i could try a signal attenuator.
im in a unit block, and im assuming that all the tv's in the place run off the one antenna with a splitter / booster of some kind.

dunno if that makes any difference when adding a second booster unit ?

then if it still plays up, im done with it.

Jason.
