[QUOTE="eskimo, post: 738338, member: 366224"] Many thanks mate. I have tried to find a course either block or day release where I can learn about aerial/satellite installation but couldn't really find anything. A company near where I live offer a 2 day aerial course and a 2 day satellite course for £220 each plus VAT so I have booked the aerial one. I don't think I need the satellite course as I only intend to offer Freesat and after buying a few dish/receiver kits for family and friends seem to have experienced any problems installing them. So it seems Freesat will be the only way to get all the channels around here, do you know what will be missing from Freeviewlite? I know this is probably a stupid question but how do you know how high to put an aerial?? Is it just a case of keep going higher until the signal gets stronger? Is there a minimum dVUB and dB level I should be looking for? eg. 60 dBUV 80 dB Am I correct in thinking the dBUV is the strength of signal and the dB is the quality? If so would the higher gain aerial increase the dVUB which in turn should increase the dB?? What would a mast amplifier do? Thanks again to everybody and I am sorry for taking up your time. [/QUOTE]
