Advice on a variable TV attenuator
I have been told to get my BT YouView to work better I need to reduce the signal strength form 100% to 96ish %. ????? what??????
Anyway, I am rubbish at electronics, can you guide me on what to but or what to look out for please? I think I'd like a variable one as I don't know exactly how weak to make the signal macafee2 |

That sounds bizarre! I'd love to know why the signal strength needs reducing. 99% of us need it bumping up. I'll follow this with interest as I don't know the answer.

I rang BT yesterday and the chap I spoke to was aware of the problem and agreed about the 100% and an attenuator. I will email the Youview people macafee2 |

You'd think the TV box would have something built in to compensate for this situation or is that a little too simplistic?
