Makes possible what seems impossible!

After termination of the, for the performance ("only" 33 programs, and it is a good "pounds" pure commercialism channels like QVC) far too expensive cable connection and installation of a satellite dish with a single LNB, turned out that it is an AV-waste to always have only to receive a program and consider this project even with a VCR recording. Install a twin LNB, decommission the single receiver and exchange them for a twin receiver? Too much action, not simply at the end and not cheap. The Alternative: Why not try Freeview?

Now I am settled in an area that can only receive and exclusively via roof antenna lt. Reception card. But since I live in the countryside and 3rd floor and was voted hopeful of the predecessor Rezessenten, I have to test with the Philips SDV 2940 DVB-T amplifier antenna, coupled with the Philips DTR decided 220 DVB-T Receiver, both components in the reference on the Amazon Seller Avides. The package came incl. Delivery to just 70.00 EUR.

First, a praise to Avides: Super Fast delivery and state (declared exhibits) top! Installation / connection of antenna and receiver ran smoothly and, what can I say ... Even in my DVB-T indoor antennas declared dead area I receive with the SDV 2940 all main channels, ARD and Vox (and a little more, everything in particular, currently 24 stations) and in spite of the formation "only" in the room. A small drawback is the thing though: Depending on the orientation of the antenna, the package of the public or the private channels is better / worse, or does not receive a signal, but I write specifically to my region. I assume that I would with a worse antenna, as might be expected, received no reception. On readjusted for desired station is not a huge cost in the other: select program and turn Antennne until picture and sound are there.

All in all 5 stars for a product that makes possible what did not seem possible. In addition, the DVB-T reception areas are expanded and with the end of 2008 Germany should be DVB-T capable of 85%. I'm sure that I can then use the full range of programs.
