[QUOTE="radioscanner, post: 40140, member: 175065"] Hi Rob43 & Jacko, Very interesting stuff! Since my last post I have found out that in my area "Costa Blanca" they are using a 65 cm dish and a little log periodic antenna at the focal point of the dish, its tuned to the IF frequency i.e. around 1.5 ghz then its fed into an "analog" satellite receiver. Also there could be a pre-amp in the line between the antenna and the receiver, I havnt actually seen this installation, but the info came from a good source. There could be a similar "digital" system used here to the one you mentioned, but I havnt yet heard of it. Did you notice if there was any pre-amp installed near the antenna at your friends house?. If so then you need to keep that in mind when ordering & setting up your own intallation. Hope to hear from you. John. [/QUOTE]
