Fred: Is everything else on Multiplex COM6(ARQB) OK for you, such as Yesterday, Film4, 4Music and so on?

David Hill: You have to get the card from Sky. It provides access to Sky3, Fiver and Five USA.
You can always get a Freesat receiver from Comet other stores, where no card is required.

phil: Right, thanks.
First, I have no idea why you say "until last autumn when the signal level was increased" because this simply has not happened. There will be no changes to the signal until Wednesday 17th August 2011.
You are predicted to get really good reception from Waltham on all multiplexes already, and the terrain map shows there are no hills between you and the transmitter.
Quite why anyone should say you need a "15 ft tall mast, mast head amp and all the trimmings" is beyond me. You should get a perfect signal with a bog-standard unamplified aerial.
I would suggest you find someone who will give you a quote to provide a standard aerial at a reasonable price.
Or, go for Freesat.

george : The card provides access to Sky3, Fiver and Five USA only. You can get another by calling Sky on 08442 411 602.

phil: I've run up Google Earth and can see the valley now, and it probably explains some of the aerials pointing towards the analogue BRAUNSTONE transposer relay.
Please let me know how you get on.

interested person: No, due to content protection issues you can't use HDMI on anything more than one-to-one.
It is not likely that Sky would ever have a DVB-T output from their boxes.
It is much easier to have multiple Sky (or Freesat) boxes connected to the dish so each can select the channel it wishes to watch.
