Issues with Signal?

[Tularis]

Hello,

So my setup have been find and working for a few years but now I've come back to it and now the picture is all broken up and the sound is stuttering.
It looks like a poor signal problem. However there is a TV connected via a splitter to the same Aerial Socket and that receives perfect picture... (The TV has always been connected with the setup)

See attached screen shot..

the PCTV software says Signal Str=63 and Quality is 78

I'm using a USB PCTV 292e I've rescanned but its still all stuttery...

Because the TV has a good signal it rules out the antenna so i'm at a loss....   (in the UK)

Yeah, it looks like signal quality issues. You're seeing it breaking up there in TVCenter too.

It's not uncommon to for TVs to have better tuners than you get in PC peripherals. The TV is probably coping ok with the slightly weaker signal, but it's not enough for the tuner on your USB device.

Your antenna might have moved slightly, or leaves on a tree at the next door neightbors or something.

Interestingly, I took it out of my main PC and into an old ThinkPad running Win7. After a long Scan the picture is fine and no droped frames or stutter..
Could this be a decoder issue?

All the testing has been in the Native TV-Centre app...

I don't know. Maybe make sure both the main PC and the ThinkPad found the channel on the same frequency? In case one of them picked up the same channel on some more distant transmitter.

I don't know anything about TV Center. I've seen it, but never used it.

Ok, well here is the odd thing. If I pass the USB to a Win7 VM and install the software everything is fine even on the HD Channels.
Windows 10 however, Completely stuttery...

Buggy drivers on Win10? Maybe look for updated drivers.
