Definately not Freeview if through a dish ... if it is Freeview then there must be a standard antenna too.

See, Satellite > Dish > My TV's via Humax for TV // and Hauppauge PCI card in PC = Freeview via satellite.

Simples.

I could get Sky or FreeSat...blah... blah.. blah~

I know what I'm talking about - I have many TV solutions available - I opted for freeview. For now, maybe.

Interesting that you appear to be ignoring the points I made in my posts.

Would this be; perchance; that they undermine your argument ???

If you would care to point out where the author of my refernces is wrong when it states that you cannot receive Freeview via a satellite dish

BTW I think Dave is total carp, but thats only my opinion.

The laws of physics relating to the electro-magnetic spectrum haven't been changed by the 'new' coalition government have they ????

Indeed not, but the laws of physics have got nothing to do with this- it's convenience and economics.

The performance of a dish aerial is determined purely by the ratio of its diameter to the wavelength in use, from memory I think that ratio is about 20 for TV satellites and standard dishes.

So to pick up terrestrial Freeview with the same aerial performance you'd need a dish about 12 metres across... but a smaller one would still work at lower performance and be perfectly adequate because of the higher signal strength available.

Terrestrial TV frequencies are in a sort of transition zone for convenient use, at the high end for ordinary aerials and the low end for dishes. But you could build a dish to pick up the BBC radio transmissions on 198kHz (~1500 metres) if you really wanted to, the laws of physics don't have anything to say on the matter...

I've given up too.

He cannot accept or understand !

Even the link he provides states that Freeview is terrestrial.

Not sure of the frequencies but there ARE BBC radio stations on it - World Service too iirc.

Only have to lookup Digiguide to see them.

And what does that show?

And your link does not say that Freeview is available over satellite.

It shows the Communal Satellite TV and Integrated Reception System as stated by the OP.
