Just tested radio stations out in Chicago, and all stations are coming in strong with antenna fully extended. So I am presuming that FM tuner is fine. :hmmm:

Re-align your house.

Bwahhahahahahahahahahaha.

Bill you don't mention what sort of antenna you have, are you just using the ones on the box, or an external? I get the same sort of result with stations about 65 miles away, can't get a clear lock in stereo, and mono isn't much better. It might pay to look into an external antenna, although not every box has an external connector. Lucky I have a mile of stations a lot closer.

Well I'm using the the arial on box and it's about 40"+ long fully opened. I do get lots of stations with antenna only half extended but in Chicago I got like all with it fully extended. With one station very hard to pull in stereo, 100.3 in Chicago and 100.7 where I live :hmmm: very strange :huh: Wouldn't you know it these are the 2 best stations and reception poor on this unit. But for most part it's working and as long as antenna at half mass here they come in :thumbsup: I do have external hook up but no outside antenna :thumbsdown:

Shame about Q101.....

Well so long as you get your favorite stations, that's the main thing.
