[QUOTE="spiney, post: 142028, member: 192438"] Just adding to my own reply, to Paboutin ...... Location london SE3 is "almost directly underneath" the Crystal Palace tv transmitter, with the most poweful DTT signal in the UK! There's still no "absolute guarantee" (who can give one?!), but any Freeview receivers used in that area - even the very cheapest ones - should certainly have no problem at all in working on just - literally - a short piece of wire sticking out of the back! For any residential accomodation, it would take an exceptional problem to make this unviable (eg, living underground!). Also, I sort-of implied you might get 3 CAMs into a Dreambox receiver, which is probably wrong, even with the right software (any experts care to comment?). Bearing in mind the conservation area bit, even though "awkward" when combined with a Sky digibox, you could certainy motorise a standard single 60cm dish (unless explicitly forbidden), and this way get the satellites you want.
