Hey,

I think it just may require an insane signal strength. Likely you need to 
live in the transmission tower. For me, it gives around 0x4000 strength with 
some errors and I live quite near the tower and everything else reports 
almost max strength.

The funny thing is only one mux ('mux b') exhibits lots of errors. The 
other two have errors but not annoyingly much so.
