so what build are you using now?
& have you a local card in the box?
Build 742 VIX.
This has nothing to do with the juddering but I do not have a local card but wondering if it is worth getting one as I have noted not all free channels are available. I have just ordered a replacement LNB from Invacom in case my Irdeto one is faulty.

some channels are FTV = Free To View, IE there free but you still need a valid card to view them. you can get a deactivated white sky card on ebay and use that to open the FTV channels providing it's not been totally switched off.Originally Posted by TheRealMike

That's very useful info. thanks.
To confirm, it was certainly the LNB. I had a very old sky digital single output LNB lying around from the pre Sky+ days. With the aid of a hacksaw and a file and some insulation tape, I modified it to fit on onto the dish in place of the C120 LNB and feedhorn. Its is not a match for the dish, a 1.2m Channel Master and the SNR is lower, but the glitching has gone. It does not explain why the original LNB works fine on an older receiver, but hopefully my replacement C120 LNB will work. All I need now is a Polar mount for it.
Anyway, back to topic. Anyone with a TM-Twin with glitching video on live TV might want to investigate their LNB to ensure it is compatible. Meanwhile I will put this C120 LNB on a spectrum analyser and measure its frequency accuracy and phase noise.

Many thanks for keeping us updated and i am happy that you managed to track down the route cause of your issues. sadly though this does once again show that users can be quick to blame the image rather than investigate further the cause of their issues but thats another discussion for another time.
