[QUOTE="Channel Hopper, post: 4726, member: 175144"] Very few D2 Mac units will allow you to see the background if its a weak signal . Most of the time if the signal is not strong enough you will get a blank screen ( similar to the Sony TVs when not in tune mode) Not sure about the Nokia receivers, but when I was borrowing a Philips D2 MAC decoder, entering the installer set up menu would allow me to view the background 'raster' to see if there was a signal at all and then play around with the dish parameters to bring the strength of the programme in) As its analogue, having a final frequency of 2MHz below the actual frequency advertised does a lot to bring in encrypted channels. You should however have no filtering or bandwidth reduction set up in the receiver when trying to get any MAC channel [/QUOTE]
