Yes I do. Not all the time, but it's generally bad at daylight/dusk time
and if it's raining - so I've always assumed it to be a signal/antenna
problem. I see it on BBC2, News24, BBC3, BBC4, TMF and The Hits, all other
channels come up OK.

I'm running vdr 1.1.17 with a driver of about the same age, Nova-t
(Crystal Palace) and DVB-s
