[QUOTE="closetosoton, post: 69227, member: 184281"] Clément, If you just want to keep it Analogue at the minute, you'll have to turn your dish a bit towards the west for TF1/france2 etc (note you'll loose TV5 since its not on Altantic Bird 5W). One more thing to note is your LNB must be a universal LNB, since all the channels are carried at the higher frequencies - also your receiver must be capable of switching into the higher frequency range - it must support 22KHz tone switching (Early analogue receivers didn't, later ones did). Mine doesn't so I have a 22KHz tone inserter. (I have this one [url]http://tinyurl.com/6oauk[/url]). I'm near to southampton (I'm guessing you're in UK? - your profile doesn't indicate..) and I get on OK with a 60cm dish, if you're further up north you might need an 80cm dish. Assuming you're in the UK the other thing to note is that TF1/france 2 from Atlantic Bird 5W are all in S_E_C_A_M, unless your TV can cope with this (UK is PAL-I) you'll get your channels in black and white - not so cool. If your receiver has multiple inputs consider adding a second dish? That's what I did. I'm not sure that its legal to have two dishes side by side on the house, but no one has complained to date. Put one in the garden... :cool: Ciao. Simon [/QUOTE]
