Hello MT,
I've noticed none of those problems. I used to have a discrepency
between the esignal feed and TS/GS chart displays. But that stopped
after I upgraded CPU.
I received one private response from a guy using a Globex terminal and
he reports virtually no difference between the two.
Best regards,
