Just noticed a bit of random pixelation on some of the channels
BT sport ,Al Jezera
and some of the SD channels are a bit blurry especially with scrolling text eg CNBC
Here are my voltages:

Far too many PostRS errors. You will need a VM technician to sort this out.

No, all in spec.
BQM looks good, other than a few random spikes.

Hey mda99das, thank you for reaching out and I am sorry to hear you are having some issues with pixilation on certain channels.
Please can you confirm me exactly what channels are showing as blurry and pixelated?
Also please can you confirm if all the wires are secure and nothing is lose / cracked at all. Thanks

Its CNBC, Alibi and ITV3 +1
Are these in SD?
Thanks

I think the issue may be I am trying to amplify a decent signal via the 4 way splitter.
Is this the reason why some of the TV channels are a bit blurry? I thought VM stream in HD but it looks like some of them are still SD.
Also I have more spikes in my profile. Is this the reason why sometimes videos buffer?

"I think the issue may be I am trying to amplify a decent signal via the 4 way splitter." No way will a splitter amplify a signal, they reduce the signal, usually by 3 or 4 dBm.

Sorry I should have mentioned it’s mains powered amplified splitter
on 15-08-2022 21:27
You can see the RG11 goes straight in.
The signal must be pretty good, but then its amplified.
I wonder what would happen if I turn the power off and just use it as a passive splitter?

Hey mda99das, thank you for reaching out and I am sorry to hear you are having some pixilation issues.
I would like to take a look into this and run some further tests with you via a PM, please can you look out for the purple envelope. Thanks
