Why is sbs digital reception poor

Digital TV equipment can provide very different picture qualities with small changes in the signal strength see Digital Cliff. Do a visuial check your antenna is not damaged no bent rods etc. How old is your antenna? You may need to get an antenna guy out to test the signal strength at the wall and either confirm it as strong enough or too weak and needing updating.

Note all channels from each network are broadcast in a single mixed up digital data stream called a Mux. This is why if one channel is poor then all channels will be similarly poor for that network.

Also ensure no splitters or other pass through equipment is in the line from the antenna to the Fetch TV. Regarding the antenna, I actually live in a fairly new apartment complex that is very well setup for technology including fibre to node NBN. The complex is only 4 years old. A visual check of the antenna is not possible. Do you know if in this situation, where an apartment building of approx apartments, would everyone experience the same reception issues?

Including those with other set-top providers such as Foxtel? Could this relate to any splitter? That I have had my current setup for Fetch TV, for close to 4 years. Nothing has been moved, disconnected, replaced, no cables have been changed etc etc it has all been sitting there and working perfectly. So it will be interesting to see if any other resident has issues, assuming an antenna problem will affect all those connected to that antenna.

If no-one reports any issues then the possibility remains that the issue is arising from my side of the equipment. Even though nothing has been moved or touched and is all still relatively new. It does indeed change it up a bit. I always liked this song and the singer.

I'm no expert there but I'd suspect you have some sort of distributed system you can't just hang TVs of the one aerial. Neighbours also suffering a drop on SBS would certainly confim an external issue, however if they haven't it doesn't rule it out. Same way your TV might still be showing perfect SBS when plugged into the antenna directly and channels scanned but the Fetch box fails. Different equipment has different "digital cliffs".

You could always try plug your fetch box into a neighbors antenna and do a scan in there apartment? An antenna guy can confirm if the signal to your wall plate is not sufficient but its probably better to ask the Building Committee if any works were done a few days ago. Any changes etc? It was great having someone genuinely care about our home and what we needed! Fantastic same day within 2 hrs of calling. Reception was extremely helpful and knowledgeable.

Installers were also very knowledgeable and relaxed. Not pushy with solution. Solution worked first time. Russell was a great service man who knew his work perfectly and did a fantastic job with our problem. Would recommend NuLife antenna to anyone. Mark was an absolute champion and went the extra mile to get my service working better than it has ever worked before. Highly recommend this company!!! Staff are wonderful to deal with and very efficient, we use their service a lot for our properties in strata and I have always enjoyed working with the team at Nu Life!

Highly recommended. Small business can suck, this one should be going great guns, the service and follow up second to none, the workmanship or is it just work these days just amazing, Fred erico is a perfectionist and it shows. This is my first home purchase and i wanted a smart look for it, so I have Nu Life mount 2 TV's for me. Just incredible! Don't look anywhere else, Nu-Life are your one stop shop, better yet pricing was incredible and they even provide the brackets.
