ScanChannelsBDA_UK and signal strength help

[jksmurf]

Based on MPEG repair logs I believe I have been having issues with signal quality of late.

I used to use ScanChannelsBDA_UK because it has a nice graphical format, but it just quickly opens and closes and throws the log below, with no menu. OTOH

1. NPVR actually displays the channels, using the known frequency to my nearest station (626000, 8) and
   
2. A quick scan in NPVR finds the same channels and
   
3. ScanChannelsBDA does give me a result on both BDA Tuners, with one at 84% , 100% (Strength, Quality), the otehr about 80%, 75%
   

thoughts?

It's been yonks since i used ScanChannelsBDA so apologies if I am remembering this wrong ... but ... I had a version that worked with Hauppauge devices and would throw a wobbly if there was a non-Hauppauge device in the machine.

Just a follow-up. I believe the tuner was broken, after 5 years, alternating between 100% and 0% in reception quality. Its replacement works much better.
