[QUOTE="Corrigapp, post: 567836, member: 390950"] Yes I'm from the UK, London. I'm not bothered about anonymity but I'm out and about a lot at the moment so it's probably better if we communicate via the forum. Judging by the size of your dish, I'm guessing that the most important thing to you is Sky subscription channels and not BBC and other British 'domestic' channels?? It's highly unlikely that you can pick up any of these UK 'domestic' channels from the infamously weak Astra 2D with your current set-up unless you live in some kind of 'miracle sidelobe'. Here in Lund, in any case, it has to be a minimum of 1.8m for reasonably reliable reception of 2D, 2m would have been better but too expensive. If none of the channels you want to receive are on the weak Astra 2D bird (the other birds - Astra 2A/B/C - are relatively strong), then what digibox you buy will not be so important. It seems like there's been an assumption on this thread that you're after a sensitive/selective digibox like the Pace 2600 as you live in Sweden, but all of this really hinges on which channels you want to receive (ie which of the four satellites they're on). I could be wrong, but it sounds to me like fringe reception from Astra 2D is not exactly what you're after?? For what it's worth, I agree with Snap, it does sound like your current box is on its last legs. [/QUOTE]
