I wonder if people (including me) are seeing variable SD channel PQ due to a more limited range of acceptable signal level with Tivo, whereas the V+ was more tolerant with a wider range of signal level able to generate a high quality SD picture?

Can the VM Tivo team remotely inspect your Tivo set up to see how you are set up as I feel it could be useful if VM could inspect customers complaining of lower SD PQ to see if there is a trend? Maybe worth a call to the Tivo suppport team for them to check my settings?

My installer was a last minute backup to the planned installer and while he had Tivo training, his background was BB installs as we talk more about the super hub than Tivo. I just wondered whether he did set up everything correctly? He did install an equaliser to be fair which indicated signal levels were checked.

With adjustments to my TV, I've managed to improve SD PQ but watching a game of football on BBC1 SD on Sunday morning, indicated SD still cannot give me the same quality I had with V+.
