Having managed to borrow a freeview pace box to test reception I have found I can recive all channels and they look fine. The signal strength only ranges from 70-75% which seems pretty low to me, there were no dropouts but does this mean there is likely to be? Though this is after the splitter, not directly from the aerial as I plan to set it up (which I hope will improve things). Anyhow, I'm about to start picking digiboxes and I'm planning on getting one with two scarts as I have to inputs to the TV currently used by the video and the DVD. I was going to use the video input for the digibox and pass the VCR input through the scart of the digibox. Question is: If I watch protected videos, will having this setup mean macrovision problems? On an old setup, when I had Sky Digital I had to plug the DVD strait into the TV instead the the digibox as rental DVDs had problems otherwise. -- John _ ICQ# - 16141921 / \ ASCII Ribbon Email - (rot13) \ / Campaign * email to reply or from address ignored * X Against Save Farscape! - http://www.watchfarscape.com/ / \ HTML Mail |

I'm usig the labgear and it shows next to no signal but the s/n ratio is good and I get all channels. |
