[QUOTE="jameson_uk, post: 287224, member: 11220"] Anyone got any idea about how Satellite is setup in blocks of flats? We have one large dish on the roof and I understand every flat is fully wired up to it. There are probably 100+ flats so I guess there are lots of booster type things around but I can not quite understand how it works seems as normally when you request a channel this gets the LNB to tune to the transponder you want (probably not the correct technical terms but you get the idea...) If everyone is connected upto a few LNBs then how can lots of people watch their the channels they want??? How do I setup MP for this? I am trying to pickup FreeSat channels on my Pinnacle 7010i card (which works fine for DVB-T) but when I try and scan for DVB-S channels it says there is about 50% signal strength but no quality and I then get No Signal errors for each transponder. I am not sure if there is a problem with the connection to my flat or whether it is just something I am doing wrong in MP? I am getting a signal strength signal which makes me think the former (and I have tried the same in someone else's flat who I think is connected up to Sky) [/QUOTE]
