Re: [TIVO] Signal Quality problems
said by Hooper  :The RS Uncorrected is a sure sign that the Tivo needs to be attenuated. So for some reason, over night, my signal has become too hot?

I can tell you that my signal to this day still fluctuates by time of day and year. Sometimes Discovery HD is 100% normal, and sometimes it still pixellates (albeit minimally now) even after attenuation.
Check out some of the channels in the same frequency. Usually where there is one with a problem, you will see it in another channel close by.
RS Corrected value increases when the Tivo can handle the error whereas RS Uncorrected is well a measure of you guessed it.
Let's put it this way. An attenuator can't hurt, even if the problem is transitory. |

I mean, I suppose at some point, the temps will be high enough that I can just remove the attenuators. But if I have to screw around with the level of attenuation all the time, that's just going to suck.  Especially if I wind up recording something only to see it's fubar and have to mess with the attenuation level.
I'm sure you all know the wrath of $wife when american idol or one of their shows isn't recorded or is unwatchable.
