[QUOTE="spiney, post: 160509, member: 192438"] Well, the special Novapal Tuner inside Setpal receivers was supposedly the best ever (Echostar T101 was most sensitive at -86dBm, Daewoo was -84 but with better overall performance, dtg figures, measured at 16 QAM no interference). I'm still using my Daewoo Setpal, it works fine on low signals. These are still available (if nowhere else!) from [URL="http://www.cpc.co.uk"]www.cpc.co.uk[/URL] , type "digital television receiver" into the search box. Note that, the Setpal format is now considered defunct, the promised epg never happened and there's been no other software updates for ages. However, the tuner works and is excellent. However, remember, the aerial is the important thing, with receiver sensitivity differences being marginal, at best. (added) the setpal can sometimes be annoying, if you change channels it occasionally delays a few seconds while optimising the tuner's local oscillator frequency exactly (no point in increasing sensitivity, then being "off" the i.f. passband!). It can also "glitch" on bad impulsive interference, again the price paid for sensitivity. See: [URL="http://72.14.203.104/search?q=cache:7z3GdAjpvlIJ:www.novapal.com/tunerright.htm+novapal+double+conversion+tuner&hl=en&lr=&strip=0"]http://72.14.203.104/search?q=cache:7z3GdAjpvlIJ:www.novapal.com/tunerright.htm+novapal+double+conversion+tuner&hl=en&lr=&strip=0[/URL] .
