Default Self-Install FreeSat... ?

Hi -

We have one of them big plasma tellies now - 10 years behind the curve, but
still exciting.... )

So next thought is an HD signal feed, preferably without putting a farthing
in Murdoch's pocket. I've been advised that Freesat HD is better than
Freeview HD, and I see that there are plenty of receivers and dishes on the
market.

I need an idiot's introduction or a UK enthusiast forum, if anyone can help
with that?




This is the Freesat+ forum: There is also a Freesat forum.

I am just about able to receive Freeview HD from Crystal Palace (with my
new TV), but I do get the occasional loss of signal. The situation will
improve next year when they increase the power of the digital
transmissions.

If you have line of sight to the satellites at 28.2 and you live in the
UK then reception should be possible. DIY dish installation is a
practical proposition.
