TomTom RDS-TMC Traffic

[ticker]

I have a TOMTOM 910 with firmware 6.52 the latest update
Tried a TomTom RDS-TMC Traffic in Cheltenham which would only pick up severn sound which is no good for rds-tmc.
Then tried the unit on a run to the otherside of Bristol and back about
90 miles with only getting the GREEN light on in Bristol then off again
in all about 90 miles of motorway and 1.5hrs of driving all motorway
about 15mins of signal.
I did even try the Aerial on the outside of the car this result was the same
I did try both settings for rds tmc but no luck.
The idea of the unit is superb but using the unit was hopeless.
Tried again on another journey hoping all was ok but same again.

I then thought this is useless so obtained a RMA number and got my money refunded.
What a dissapointment in what could have been a brilliant unit
Oh well lets hope tomtom can sort things out, When I rang TOMTOM
they said the unit is fine it is a poor signal causing the problem which they say is beyond there control!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
