Yes, it's from the launch of Sky Digital, so that ties in.I used to have one of those charts about 22 years ago!!!
It's going in the recycling now, along with the Sky digital launch brochure.

Some of the first Ku LNBs I installed had noise figures exceeding 2.5dB, I recall having to pay an additional £40 to get the first 2.0 dB stamp on the back.
It did make a difference on the reception though, some previously very sparkly TV became watchable on a 1.5m dish.

Before you bin it, maybe offer it to the Satellite Superstore as they might like it for their satellite equipment museum?Yes, it's from the launch of Sky Digital, so that ties in.
