[QUOTE="amg054, post: 101534, member: 191601"] Hi..I'm thinking of buying a Fortec-Star Lifetime Diamond, for satellite & terrestrial freeview channels.... but before I do, can anyone answer my queries? I presume if I plug the FSLD into my existing Sky-dish setup, it will pickup Astra 2A, 2B & 2D, along with Eurobird 1 (as my current Sky FTV setup does). What I want to know is; 1) Will the FSLD see all 4 satellites as 1 'clustered entity' which it will then blindscan ? Or does it need to detect each satellite individually, and then blindscan one-by-one ? 2) Does it automatically identify satellites(eg. from a carrier signal), or does it need to be told which one it's pointing at? 3) Does anyone know how sensitive the terrestrial tuner is (ie. may want to use it in 'fringe' areas) ? (btw..I'm only interested in obtaining FTA channels at 28degE, and am not interested in setting up dual-LNB's, or moving-dishes/diseqc etc...... yet !) Grateful for any info offered, amg054 [/QUOTE]
