Dr.Dish:
Even 180cm would be "good weather only" outside unit. Using a receiver with
adjustable T.E. (more then 15 steps) will improve reception, but will give
also a lower picture quality, since the T.E. is affecting the used bandwidth
and the result is less video information. If you like to watch only one
channel, then advice to use a DIGITEX, connected to the 480 MHz-IF of the
receiver. This 480 MHz-IF must be taped from the tuner, but it is a easy
job. DIGITEX-manufacturer NTI, Loerrach/Germany would provide you with a
diagram. The LT8700 or Drake ESR2000XT are fine for low threshold reception,
but the larger dish would be much better.
