Bob H: jb38. thanks for that response, the indications are on the Humax box, I dumped my old Sky box some years ago. Watched BBC HD last night and it appears to be OK, no pixilating no breakup. Will now go ahead and wire up all the others.

Colin: Somewhere on your Freesat box you should be able to see signal strength/quality, check to see what you are getting. If weak then your dish may have moved or not been installed and aligned correctly or your LNB ( the bit with wires comeing out) may need replacing. Is the connection to your Freesat Box good? I found one where the central wire was bent over and not going into the central hole.

Dave Rhodes: Just replaced my old single LNB with a Quad so I can get a Humax Freesat PVR and use the old Freesat box in the bedroom. After connecting the new LNB I get 100% reception but only 80% quality. Is that OK for HD reception?
