</div></div>I agree with all that Mike has said here, but I suspect that even that<br>
may be making things more complicated than is necessary unless you<br>
really want to be able to get your signals from more than one<br>
transmitter - perhaps to have the option of two sets of regional<br>
programmes - and your aerial and location will permit this.<br>
<br>
If your best choice of a single transmitter is obvious, I think you only<br>
need to input the frequency for _one_ of its multiplexes and tick the<br>
option to look for others that are linked to it; but you need to have<br>
deleted _all_ your dvb channels before you do this.<br></blockquote></div><br>Ey up!<br>I'm a bit stunned actually. I know most people have a dipole, single direction aerial, so they point it and go with what they get. But I know that if I went for one of the 3 or so transmitters I can get a useable signal from and ditched the others, I'd have a lot less channels. Some areas of the UK are still around the only 8 or 9 channels including radio from one transmitter as an option. Other areas get more.<br>
Also, different transmitters bunch the channels together in different ways. So recording from the same frequency becomes more of a choice when you use more than one transmitter.<br><br>I thought this was the kind of thing Myth was supposed to be great at!<br>
<br>[And btw. From previous experiments, if I do a single transponder search including looking for linked, I very often get sent to some of the known bad frequencies, but oddly, I've never had a scan on a different frequency come up with 842 for example, which is probably the strongest signal I've got.]<br>
<br>I think what I'm saying is .. in my situation, the myth-setup program really doesn't make it easy at all to configure and be sure you know what it's doing in the background. I know what I want to achieve, and it seems reasonable to me to be able to use the signals from the transmitters I can get ... I just have a cludgy tool that I don't really trust to try and do it with.<br>
