Hi,
Meter readings aren't the be all and end all. There may be plenty of
reasons why you get a high meter reading, but no signal. I would have
tried it under a normal freeview box, then tried to speak to Portset to
see if anything was ammis with the digital card in the system. On the
unit was there a menu for checking signal levels? There is on most
products, and it can help you pinpoint where the problem is.
Andrew.

Hi, Andrew!
No I didn't but the Aerial man was perfectly willing to bring a
Freeview box to show me how well it worked. I didn't take him up on
this, as all his meters showed more than positive.
