Ken: If you have poor reception during rain, the usual reason for this is that the water is getting into your aerial cable.
This will be a particular problem if you have a masthead amplifier as it will short out the power supplied along the cable.
To be honest, you don't need a masthead amplifier, so you should probably get some new (satellite-grade) cable and bypass the masthead amplifier.

Duncan: Following the ruling, Broadcasting territorial exclusivity with a decoder card is contrary to EU law | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice , the legal advice I have received says that the "geocode" limits that the BBC and other broadcasters place on their live TV streams is probably now clearly unlawful.
This has also been established in the court cases by ITV plc (and others) against TVCatchup - Never Miss A Show Again - the "retransmission" provision does include internet distribution.
The systems in Spain, which I have heard about, were clearly illegal as they were providing subscription channels (Sky Sports 1 and 2) for a payment that was 100% illegal.
Normally the "retransmission channels" are provided over cable systems, and as long as they are provided in all packages, this is seen as "not requiring an additional payment" above the "access charge".

Duncan Brack: The manual seems useful.
No, you certainly can't plug a PVR into the television set to record from it, but you can attach a Freeview+, Freeview+HD or Freesat+HD box with the set - just attach it using an HDMI cable.
