They probably work fine on the test bench, where under lab conditions the signal levels can be carefully controlled!

The attenuator purely turns the SS down. If we are correct that yours is a good signal, but effectively too strong, the SQ should rise as you reduce the SS, and reach 100 before the SS drops below 90.

If this doesn’t happen, you have something different wrong with your signal. We’ve had a couple of reports lately about Box Pros being rather picky, but both in cases where there was something wrong with the signal, though TVs, and even earlier YouView boxes, weren’t finding anything to complain about.

I received the attenuator in the post today and plugged it directly into the back of the BT box and the aerial into that

It comes set at 100% and you can use the little red dial to turn down the signal strength. You can literally put the SS and SQ on-screen and watch it riser and fall with turns of the dial

Ive got it set with 90% SS (down from 100%) and the SQ is sat at 100% consistently (from fluctuating between 50-100%)

The picture is perfect on every channel and hasn't skipped a beat. Worth every penny of 6 quid!

I was pretty sure that would be the solution. Certainly proves the opinion that the tuners on these Pro units are no better than previous versions.
