Hi all,

I have the Digital service plus a cable modem, and have occasional problems with channels 'disappearing'. For example, last night I tried to view Bloomberg, ch 112, just a blank screen. This morning, it's fine.

Browsing thru other channels revealed other m.i.a's, SkyOne, E4, and a few others - not that I'd watch them anyhow!

On previous occasions,a channel has decode problems, i.e. audio with 'bursts' of motion video interspersed with stills.

Could this be a signal level problem? I have the obligatory 3dB splitter on the incoming feed. I'd also like to take a feed straight to the TV aerial in - good as Interactive may be, it ain't as quick as Teletext!

Cheers,

Me.
