I might just order one and try it but I was wondering if generally ANT+ connections are more reliable than bluetooth. Bluetooth is shit, so I imagine that wouldn't be hard...
I lol’d. ANT+ is extremely limited in comparison to BLE, shorter range, lower bandwidth and less able to deal with interference from other radios. Your problems likely stem from range and interference, do you have a lot of devices with WiFi in your flat?

Shed loads, but it was doing this when the bluetooth sensor was in the PC next to the turbo so I don't think it can be range. I know ANT+ is generally less good but I'm happy to run a USB cable to right by the turbo to put the ANT+ sensor in.
I've ordered one and I'm going to give it a go anyway as my bluetooth headphones dropping out in the flat when the bluetooth dongle is plugged into the PC in the cellar is annoying me. For less than £20 it seems worth a go.

Recently, I can't believe it's gone flat already and when it is connected TrainerRoad is saying it has 80% battery.
I have a weird computer setup with a PC in the cellar and a screen in the living room above as well as in the cellar, but I can only have one bluetooth dongle, which I'd rather have in the living room. So an ANT+ dongle would help anyway as long as everything connected.
