Anyone is free and entitled to their own opinions for sure.
I've been long enough here and I've seen your posts, so the introduction was not necessary.
I've also been long enough to almost any satellite forum, to have formed a personal opinion on how people buy their receivers and why. But since I can speak only for myself, I can only say what I would do.
Let's say I had a Viark, Geant or similar receiver of my own, which I never knew of its DXing capabilities, but knew very well of its decrypting capabilities, like everyone else who buys these kind of receivers.
Granted, if I didn't have anything else handy and wanted to show I receive a difficult TP for my location, I would go to the tuner menu and show that reception is possible.
What I wouldn't certainly do is screencap a decrypted channel (like for instance TF1 4K, RMC sport UHD and others) and post it as POC of the TP's reception. If I did, yes, I'd show that reception is possible, but inside I'd boast knowing I showed others what my receiver does that other receivers don't, and the real reason I bought it, which was certainly not its sensitive tuner.
But as I say, this is what I would personally do, I'm not inside the mind of anyone else!
And this is why I don't understand why you felt I was attacking you personally to go about and defend yourself of your presence and contribution.
Anyway if you felt this way, I'm sorry, that was not my intention. My comment went to the receiver and this is why I questioned the screencap's necessity with the specific content, plus this is how I would react to any post like that. Nothing to do with you!
Have fun with your receiver!
Thank you for your detailed reply. To clear up a point, in my previous post I referred to the fact that I had posted actual satellite related content rather than post about fixing kettles or how to paint a piece of wood. That was the angle from which part of my previous reply was made. It is just my personal opinion but I feel that the post count of satellite content seems to be waning, possibly a sign of the times and the lessening of interest in the hobby in the UK?
Moving back to some of your replies in this topic, out of interest, why have you not expressed this point of view before when members have posted screen captures of encypted PVu channels of commercial broadcasts taken from E2 receivers or other receiver types? For example, I have uploaded C-Band screen captures of ESPN and other broadcasts in Pvu from 40.5W using an Edision Nino Pro E2 receiver and other receiver types, as have other forum members.
It seems that you have raise only raised the point for pictures from a specific type of receiver?
Thank you for wishing me fun with the receiver, however, the fun may be somewhat limited as the receiver is for sale, do you wish to buy it?
