[QUOTE="AlexFarkouh, post: 737268, member: 339598"] Hi, To be honest I have never had more than the basic four analogue channels up to now, so anything would be an improvement. I was thinking of getting a FSFS card for £25 so I would definitely want Astra 28.8 (I think that is right), but I am up for getting more channels off other birds if the cost is not prohibitive. I am only really interested in English programming as I don't speak any other languages. I am not in a particulary wooded bit of Brooklands, I live within the boundary of the old race track. But about 15 years ago I planted a cherry tree in my front garden that would probably obscure the view south from the west side of my house, so I think the dish would have to go either on the east side of the house (or should I say on the east end of the south elevation to me more correct) or on a roof mount bracket. I assume that a wall mount is easier and cheaper so that would be my prefered solution. My Dreambox 800HD-SE only seems to have one tuner, so I guess I only need one cable from the dish to the receiver, but ideally I would like the option of connecting another receiver to the LNB at some point in the future, if I decide that I want another receiver in my bedroom. Once analogue turns off I will have to do something so I can watch TV in bed :) Regards Alex [/QUOTE]
