[QUOTE="alec, post: 834047, member: 176125"] Perplexed! Yesterday I witnessed it first hand: Left home - "no signal" on all C5 channels, 4/seven just about viewable on the Topfield only - walked half a mile to a friend who has a (ca.) 70 cm supermarket dish and single LNB on his roof, linked by longish wires (twisted together and covered with insulating tape at the join!) to 2 very old Sky Digiboxes in different rooms. Not surprisingly he can only watch one at a time but either pulls in ALL the C5 channels 24/7 with no problems and no noticeable artefacts. Still trying to work out what I am doing wrong. He's the second person I know in our small town to have problem-free reception - the common factor is that both have oldish Sky boxes, while those who can't get C5 etc. mostly seem to have Foxsat HDRs. Hard to believe that the Digiboxes are so much more sensitive though. Any ideas? [/QUOTE]
