    I need two amps in series just to get 4 muxes - and i need to manually tune those

    Sure. But there's the cost of getting a dish, feeds into both the living room and the room with the server, and needing to replace my equipment. And woe is me, I'm poor

    In that case I'd invest in a good oscilloscope and demodulate the data by eye.
    PHP Code:
    $s = new signature();
    $s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();

    Going off topic I know, but can you give a few short pointers. Can't look at my pc at the moment as work going on in the house. Is this a plug-in or in one of the menu's I've never looked in.

    & don't suppose it was that Mitchell & Webb Sound was it? I missed the first 4 of the 6 recent radio 4 episodes...

    will the pop up that says you need to retune be removed automaticly after retuning or will it go a few days after the event?

    The points I am trying to make are
    -British TV sucks
    -GOOD TV shows should be available for download for £1/episode one week after it has been aired on TV.

    Make it more like £0.50 and you have my attention. through in the ability to view that content on a phone, media player, laptop or desktop and I'll seriously think about it.
