[QUOTE="Analoguesat, post: 963264, member: 176362"] Hi Phil, welcome to the forum. Ive got a none recording Humax box in the bedroom. Its a decent box apart from a minor quirk where it wont switch on from the remote every couple of months or so. (But you just press the button on the front when that happens) As you can see from my profile Im in the Borders too - near Galashiels. A well aimed 60cm dish will be fine for anything short of monsoon rainfall or heavy snowfall conditions. Even in snow the main problem with snow is build up on the lnb rather than the stuff falling through the sky, and monsoon conditions are rare - maybe once or twice a year for 10-15 minutes. If you can get the dish into a slightly more sheltered location do so - it doesnt need to be high up so if you can tuck it into the corner of the garden somewhere sheltered behind a fence or in a corner of the building thats fine. The only major change in broadcast standards that is likely to happen in the near to middle future is that the DVB-S transmission standard will be run down in favour of DVB-S2 - which is what most of the HD channels use at the moment.
