[QUOTE="2cvbloke, post: 766874, member: 199791"] You should, they may not perform like they did with the original Marcopolo satellites (being high powered and highly focussed on the UK), but they produce a respectable and usable signal on a good day, just as per their sky minidish descendants, in cloudy weather they'll drop most digital signals, and there's not much of Analogue left to maintain a watchable picture (something the perpetrators behind the various DSO's in the many countries never really thought about, cos digital falls over in the slightest deviation in signal, whereas analogue doesn't do much other than have a few sparklies on the go in heavy snow!!!), but the dishes have more style and character than a modern minidish...:D And like you saw via my other posts, when initially trying out my dish with a modern LNB, I was using it indoors, behind a window, with closed curtains, and I think it was also a rainy day (rain = boredom = me being experi-mental!!), I can't recall if I tried using my Silvercrest digital receiver at the time, I was more interested in Analogue, cos it's more fun... :D [/QUOTE]
