[QUOTE="Tom34, post: 24513, member: 175433"] I'm a bit surprised about those sparklies, maybe I should look for my old analogue receiver and hook it up on my system. My LNB's, let me think, I've got 2 Mikrotechnics (I'll have to check the name) 0,6 db and a Humax 0,5 db on the big dish and a Samsung 0,6 db on the small dish. The Humax is now used for Hotbird because the rain drops tend to stick more on it, and to me there was no noticable difference in reception. My receiver is a X-Sat, but that's because we wanted to get dutch-TV, which is using Seca encryption. Reception of low signal channels is quite good. I don't know how good the current models are, but ours is painfully slow when changing channels. What receiver you should go for depends a lot on what you want to do. If it's only for free TV, get a cheap one, if you may want Pay-TV now (or in the future), get one with CI slot(s). Can't give you advice on manufacturers or models. [/QUOTE]
