[QUOTE="Analoguesat, post: 889087, member: 176362"] No ideas about the technicalities of the receiver - Ive only ever been on a narrow boat once (not a huge success as the prop shaft sheared in the turning area above the Falkirk Wheel! :D ) SR is the symbol rate - how many bits are transmitted in each second, FEC is the forward error correction. A 5/6 fec means for ever 6 bits sent 5 are data and one is correction to stop transmission errors (These are a bit of a generalisation, but its close enough - the exact details dont matter!) These days many receivers ignore the fec completely and just find it themselves, so you may not need it. It should be pretty obvious where they go, although 22000 is sometimes written 22.0, 27500 as 27.5 on some equipment. All modes for any satellites in Europe are now digital - the last few analogue channels were shut down April 2012. If you need H & V on hi and lo bands (the cut off is normally 11700) then try [I]lo band 10714H 22000 5/6 (Channel 4) 10788V 22000 5/6 (BBC West Midlands)[/I] [I]hi band 12207V 27500 2/3 (Sky News) 12032H 27500 2/3 (QVC)[/I] [/QUOTE]
