[QUOTE="dxsat, post: 534774, member: 193607"] This looks like a cowboy installation- you shouldn't need to choose polarity. It may be the installer does not know how to set up a multiswitch. If you choose one or the other then large numbers of channels will be unavailable. (roughly half of all channels) BBC 2, 3 and 4 are on a horizontal polarity channel. You need to be certain the installation is of decent quality as if you choose a Freesat box then many of these channels will be weak 2D versions and you may have very poor reception. In Spain vertical BBC & ITV channels are stronger. A very large dish (2.4m and larger) is needed to get BBC 2 and other horizontal 2D frequencies in your location. Ask the installer some hard questions, sounds like a scam of some kind. [/QUOTE]
