wrote: Is this as good as it gets at the moment? or do those with optimized aerial installations, double shielded downleads, oxegen free viewing rooms etc get 100% reception of Freeview? with a proper setup you wont get any breakup at all - no fancy cables required. Even then, freeview bitrate is lower than satellite for some channels, so 100% may not be 100% for the OP.

The main problem I have with Freeview is when a load crows decide to perch on the aerial, it doesn't do much for the reception. Puts me in mind of Tony Hancock in the Radio Ham. "How dare they sit on my aerial, I'll shove a few hundred volts up it, that'll make their feet tingle!" As I have seen crows perched on national grid lines, this technique might not work. So long as they're only touching ONE cable it's fine. The problem would occur if they touched two at the same time, or oen and the ground. |

Saw one once overreach himself on a railway overheard line, bit of a flash and puff and Mr crow fell to the ground in flames obviously well cooked;!... -- Tony Sayer |
