[QUOTE="absoluteb, post: 11557, member: 175196"] I have been reading information on the site mentioned by Old Satellite (thank for the link). In my particular case, will I have to worry about the polarization of the signal to receive all the free channels from Astra 1? This site talks about either having a servomotor, which mechanically changes the polarization received, or a dual feed (LNB?). Am I correct in thinking that it is possible to receive both vertical and horizontal polarization signals through one cable into the receiver, because I recall somebody switching between V and H (this making a difference) and there was only one cable entering the receiver? Would an Amstrad SRD700 be appropriate in my case? I believe I can get one for under £10. Lech Ps. This web page [url]http://www.geo-orbit.org/sizepgs/tuningp2.html[/url] is more concerned with tracking satellites systems, which appears to be a different ball game to standard satellites. However, the site explains things very well. Does anyone know of a similar site that deals with ordinary systems? [/QUOTE]
