[QUOTE="DKBrit, post: 25175, member: 175994"] Can anyone recommend a non-Sky digital receiver that's as good as the Panasonic TU-DSB-30 for picking up the BBC channels on Astra 2D. I currently own a Sony 750U skybox, and a Force 1122s (viaccess/conax). Now that ITV, channel4 and five are about to be swithched off, I'd be happier with 1 box for all channels. I'm getting roughly the same signal quality on both receivers, and I've read that the Sony is not great with fringe reception (although not having another Sky box to compare with I can't confirm or dispute this). Does the fact that the transponders the BBC uses on 2D are relatively low frequency, have any relevance when choosing a receiver? As many of us have experienced, the choice of LNB in fringe areas is critical. Is this aslo the case with receivers? Does the Panasonic TU-DSB30 excel accross the whole frequency spectrum, or is it just better on the low frequencies? DKBrit [/QUOTE]
