Thanks Conan. Was this terrestrial Freeview, via an aerial?

If so, this is what I've been struggling to get working here for the past few months. Even with a £120 monster aerial on a 12ft pole on the chimney, plus head amplifier, mega expensive double shielded cable etc I still get a lousy terrestrial Freeview signal. Every time a local boy racer drives past the picture freezes for up to 30 seconds or so.

What I'm trying to experiment with now is a satellite Freeview system, using my "spare" PC as a receiver/PVR. If I can get this working, I think I may opt for a PC based "media centre" to drive the main TV.

First off I need to get to grips with all this dish, LNB etc stuff to understand what on earth I need to make it all work!
