[QUOTE="rolfw, post: 1099911, member: 175057"] Hi, the new generation of Freesat boxes will work with Wideband LNBs, so should be easy to plug and play, only issue may be that you need to swap the two cables round if it doesn't tune first time. If it's an older box then you swap the sky Wideband LNB out for a quad. Why not do a bit of investigation as to why the terrestrial aerial doesn't work? Check with your new neighbours whether they get all channels and look at what aerials they have and where they point. You can also check which transmitter you are receiving from and see if it carries the full Freeview package. If you have more than one TV point, chack to see if you have a distribution amplifier in the loft or a masthead amplifier (is there a little box on the aerial mast) and then check how it's powered, as a dying 12v power supply may still work, but provide very scrappy signal. Here's a map of West Midlands transmitters, including local infill sites. [URL='https://ukfree.tv/maps/bbc/14']BBC West Midlands[/URL] The Red F icons are the main transmitters. A service cal from a good local aerial installer (not one of the nationals), will be probably be cheaper than a Freesat box. [/QUOTE]
