I wouldn't say the signal is that good but the picture/sound is great.
There are very few programs I record now with any noticable fault in
them. We have a cctv camera that splatters a strong clock/carrier onto
the BBC mux. My old Nova-T was unable to show more than a couple of
frames without error so Im rather impressed with what they've done
inside the twinhan.

When comparing the signal, I've had to go on the analogue picture
quality when compared to other places I've lived (watching with the
same TV). The numbers all my DVB-T cards show are always low but then
they are in no way calibrated to a useful measure.
