[QUOTE="RichardinSpain, post: 853167, member: 310811"] Hi Rima Yes i see your point, let me explain. I'm in Spain and only have a 1.2m dish, there are a couple of weaker channels like channel4 and channel5 (28.2). Having a receiver with a good sensitive tuner can make all the difference of receiving these channels or not, for instance channel 5 i can receive all day on my current receiver but with the old receiver i had it used to break up around 8pm and not come back until the early morning..Years ago the old pace 2600 was renowned for having a good tuner and was the prefered choice in fringe reception areas You are quite right of course i could do with a bigger dish and that would take the worry out of having a sensitive tuner, but its all about money and having a nice new sexy receiver to play with is sexier than having a bigger dish lol Just waiting for Huevos to come back to me for his comments on the ultimo, i have now read that they reckon the ultimo has an extra sensitive tuner and tends to flood the weaker transponders so some people have bought a signal reducer (tenuator i think) to lower the signal which has apparantley worked [/QUOTE]
