Thanks David. I'll have a search about in the archives. I've been 
reading plenty of stuff on the web and I know a fair bit more about DVB 
today than I did yesterday! I had a look at the megalithia site and I 
have good line of site to Billsdale (no obstructions) and I'm 21 miles 
away. Since I already have a good loft space aerial I'm going to borrow 
a friends set top box over the weekend and see what kind of reception I 
get from it. If it's not great I'll have to have an outdoor aerial fitted.

With regard to Myth choosing the second tuner, I had assumed that it 
would use the first input (my 250) unless there was a conflict and then 
try to resolve it using the new input (Nova-T) is this the case ?

Cheers
Paul
