And reception is "all or nothing" (no gradual improvement in reception as you move steadily closer to the true sat position, as is the case with analogue). These are the factors which mean lining up on a digital signal is trickier. But it's no more complex - just requires more patience (namely, waiting several seconds at each spot for a picture or signal-bar on the meter before giving up and moving the dish a fraction to the side or up/down for your next attempt).Astra1 signals are virtually all very strong. See Lyngsat or Satcodx for transponder and beam details.2old</blockquote>
