Maybe its just my Digihome but does anyone have problems recording from Channel five. On three occasions recordings of Gadget show and the Boxing hour on 5US has been messed up with juttery picture and sound. This happens even if I'm not watching another channel/recording. Is this a Digihome issue or a Channel 5 issue?

No problems here... Could be a reception issue - channel five's channels are on multiplex A.

Try recording from abc1 to confirm if it's a multiplex A reception issue - there's not much else of note on this multiplex...

Although i did try an "instant record" the other day from BBC1 and it said "signal is too weak to record", then it recorded it anyway!

I may have to alter my ariel and see if it changes.

Sometimes I have problems watching other channels while recording from Five/FiveUS/Fivelife but there are no signal or sound lost on the recordings.

try checking the pass through cable at the back of the machine, some peeps have reported replacing this with a good quality one has cured such issues.
