Heh, but not too many beers or I might not be able to notice any difference :D

Yeah...this is Premier League football though, so the source will definitely be high Q. I just have the nagging feeling I'm missing something when it is shown as being broadcast in MPEG-4, yet my box clearly states it can only handle MPEG-2. (EDIT: and it's the same PQ with the Bein Sports...

Yeah I guess so, unless they are doing this “hierarchical modulation”compatibility thing where they broadcast DVB-S aswell as DVB-S2 and my box is just getting the lower quality DVB-S signal but I’ve no idea if that is the case.

Yes it has HDMI. Pics attached (from google, as I'm not at the location of the box at the moment). The manual (link further up) has full details of the spec of the box including diagrammatic images of the front and rear which might be more useful than these fuzzy photos :-ohmy) EDIT: also...

The earliest mention of it I've found so far is 2012. I know its a design we've used for a good few years in Turkey, but the 9502-9505 all look pretty much identical so it's difficult to pinpoint exactly when the 9503 was released.

This is the manual (it's for HM9502-9505, mine is 9503) http://destek.digiturk.com.tr/files/Content/Documents/Digibox/umhm9505hd400tr17-0515-2017-06-13-08-24-43.pdf If it specifies MPEG2 only, does that make it a DVB-S only receiver? Or can a DVB-S2 receiver be MPEG2-only?

Firstly, please move this thread if it is in the wrong place, I wasn't too sure where my Q fits. I have the above STB which receives Digiturk channels in Turkey. I am trying to figure out why the quality of the HD isn't as great as I am used to in the UK and I am wondering if a box upgrade...

Thanks for the info - Thessaloniki gives me some hope.

Thanks Analoguesat. Yes, it seems quite hard to work out! Since my post I looked at a Badr6 fringe reception thread on here and read about someone receiving a strong signal up in Normandy, France on a 1.2m dish. So maybe I'm also being too hasty in writing off Bard6 because the distance between...

Hi all I discovered this forum while researching the possibility of receiving AD Sports here in Istanbul. After much going around in circles, and following the various migrations of these channels (a number of sites selling ADMC subs still mention Atlantic Bird 4A but that appears to be history)...
