Dear Guru,

My brand new HD TV suffers picture drop-out on terrestrial Freeview (only on HD). Even though I have line-of-sight to Crystal Palace, it’s been suggested that a less compressed satellite signal might overcome the issue. The TV accepts a direct satellite input, so I would like to purchase and fit my own dish. Can you briefly describe the ease (or not) of the alignment procedure and also the equipment required to align? Also, I understand that high quality German, French, Swiss radio (music) is available via satellite. Would these signals come from a separate satellite (which please?) and if so, would an additional LNB pick-up be required? How’s it done?

Thanks
GB
