[QUOTE="crackersjv, post: 694538, member: 352493"] Well, I must say, I'm not sure the frequencies and symbol rates shown from my box correspond too well with what's on Lyngsat. The ZDF I get is 11055 H 27493, Lyngsat doesn't even show this. It doesn't show footy. For ZDF at 11954 H 27500 I simply get no signal. For ZDF HD at 11362 H 22000 I get signal intensity 28% and quality 11% and I think it's about the same for ARD Das Erste (I don't have HD TV anyway). But very many channels come through loud and clear with over 55% signal intensity and 75% quality, these show absolutely fine. I reckon I might get a 90cm dish up on my wall which would give me over double the receiving area but I'm not sure if this would bring signal intensity up from 28% to 55%? Looking at footprint maps it makes me dubious. I'd quite like to get ARD or ZDF but wouldn't spend a lot of dosh as the rest of my life I never watch TV anyway and I certainly wouldn't be able to get the UK fta anyway (huge dish required).
