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
