We got as far as getting about 75% signal strength and 75% signal quality on some satellite, not sure which one it was. I've given up on it now, we're having an installer come around tomorrow to tweak the dish and get it working. Just having problems with Freeview at the moment. I can't tune in all the services on my DVB-T card that I can with my Freeview boxes. :-( (see my other post about this). I wish it was a straight forward as the old days of analogue. Oh well, at least once it's working I'm sure it'll be worth it having MythTV record my favourite TV programmes.
