m.j.abbott: Yes you can but you will have to use a jumper link between LNB1 output and LNB2 input to do so, the problem you may then experience is if you try to record two separate programmes at the same time, or even if they overlap, as the two programmes will have to be on the same polarity (V or H) for reception or a message will come on warning you of a clash and requesting you delete one of them.
Apart from that it will work perfectly OK so long as you remember that should you decide at a later date to fit a dual or quad block you will have to do a complete reset of the system (where you enter the postcode) or the box will still consider that you are using a monoblock and warn you of a clash as it is unable to detect the change to a proper twin input.

On 16th November 2011 I lost COM5 and COM6. Some others are now at reduced signal strength.
Nothing else has changed with my TVs, PVR and aerial. Surely this problem is because the Sudbury transmitter power has been reduced. Why is there no information on this?

Bob: The power has not been reduced. Please see Sudbury Arqiva multiplex B changes 16 November - retune required | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice .

I was going to bin my LG DRT389H DVD recorder, because the disc drive had been failing to work properly for some weeks, and repeated attempts to use discs resulted in the tv picture breaking up and finally freezing, and locking out the remote control.
My partner said, "Could it be something to do with the Digital Switchover"."Very unlikely", I said. How could it affect the playing of DVDs?
I had followed the official advice at switchover date. I accepted the machine was dying, but I liked it, so bought an identical replacement. Amazed, to find the new machine showing the same faults as the "broken" one.
Nothing in the official publicity indicated that Switchover could cause anything like this. Two days of layman's googling found web sites like this one (the most informative) and the notion of signal overload, which I had never heard of. The LG's signal indicator showed that MUX channel 24 was far stronger than the other five MUXs. I re-scanned the channels, leaving out MUX 24, and the LG recorder worked normally again. I am in the Rowridge transmitter area.
If I reduce the aerial signal to make MUX24 usable, the other five MUXs collapse. It now seems that in a few days all of the MUXs are to be transmitted at equal power, and I can reduce the signal level of all equally.
If the official Switchover publicity had warned the lay public to look out for all kinds of odd malfunctions, I would not now be the owner of two identical, functional recorders. Luckily, I was not passing the skip recently, or I might now be the owner of only one.

Programmes on the low power multiplexes from Rowridge (e.g.Film4) are sometimes pixellated or not receivable at all.
I have a 19 element YAGI with an 11dB amplifier and am 18km from the transmittrer (line of sight.
Are there any plans to increase the power to match the main BBC multiplexes?
| link to this comment |
Dave Greenaway: The power increase will coincide with changes in channels for the Commercial multiplexes which will occur on 18th April.
Rowridge will transmit all multiplexes horizontally and vertically. Prior to switchover it was horizontally polarised only.
The Public Service channels (BBC, ITV1, Channel 4 etc) are all on their full final power of 200kW in each polarisation. The Commercial channels' vertical component will be introduced on 18th April and it will be 200kW. However, the Commercial multiplexes will only have 50kW horizontal signals.
I imagine that at your distance and with line of sight, 50kW will be ample.
