By the way the 120 errors is in a row I think. I don't see how poor reception could cause FDSR errors - the BT878 isn't aware that the data you are transferring is corrupt. One possibility is that your application software is writing to a log file every time a corrupt packet is received. MythTV used to do that. I suspect that hard disk activity contributes to the 878's problems. Hamish -- Hamish Moffatt VK3SB <hamish@xxxxxxxxxx> <hamish@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
