Hello Jake,

I am running quite a similar configuration. I have TT ff dvb-s (now
without signal also), and budget-t. And yes, broblem was still there when
I had satellite signal running there ok.

I had same error messages in the logfiles, but I lost picture and sound
also.

It seems that it had something/everything to do with signal strength.  I
replaced the 10+y old antenna on the roof, and things went slightly
better. then I bought this 8eur antenna "booster" (one ant-in two ant-out
runs with 240v) from biltema, and like a magic, my problems went away. :)

is your budget dvb-t revision 1.3? it seems that it has built in feature
to very big variation of signal strength. Have you measured it for example
with femon?
