The red box has been working well without drops in signal data since I replaced the antenna, as suggested by a forum member.
It's not the strongest possible signal and the box isn't really where I would like to place it, but it's able to be connected via ethernet, which the germans recommended, and I am now satified with it and enjoying it.
I obviously recommend replacing the stock antenna if you get the red Pro and have any issues with RF reception.
I am not an RF expert, so I would just be cuious as to why the red Pro struggles with RF reception while, say, the Davis console has never blinked (well, i DID have to push it's antenna to a vertical position)?
