Further update on my Digital Stream PVR woes. The Panasonic PVR is operating faultlessly. I do agree, however, that the interface is indeed horrible. But at least I am able to reliably record programmes. I tested one of the Digital Stream PVRs on my other aerial, which is not as high a gain as the main one. It operated correctly for several days and then failed. I am wondering if signal swamping could be the cause of the problem (or just maybe there is non-4G interference that isn't so strong on this aerial feed), so have just installed a variable attenuator in front of it. As a trial I've reduced the signal to around 50 % on the PVR's signal strength meter. Remarkably it is still able to pick up most channels successfully and is currently working fine. I'll see if this remains to be the case over the next week or so.
