[QUOTE="tony smith, post: 893546, member: 402577"] Hi It is very difficult to get a Freesat receiver with any type of low thresshold tuner, due to its main area of where the unit is designed to work, its for a DTH high power satellites operation, with out having to put any attenuators in to prevent signal front end overloads. There are a few exceptions like the Humax The best low thresshold "Freesat" box was infact a sky digital box, the 2nd generation of Panasonic, first silver case unit Panasonic made, this was after their first offering which was the all black unit with " Noisy" background audio out of the scart sockets. These Panasonic Sky "Boxs" where very sort after by ex pats in Spain, to receive Sky etc in Spain. The rumor was that Sky had to step in to get the receiver changed to a standard tuner. But these receivers are many years old so difficult to find any working units out in the field. Your better option is, to go for a Multi satellite reciver, as many previous posters have called up. Take your point about "Guests" fiddling with the receivers, take the option of password protecting as many functions as possible with a new changed password. The best lowest threshold tuner I have come across is the Technomate 6900,most other Technomate receievrs are not as good the 6900 has a good -5 dBm better lower operation . [/QUOTE]
