I can get all of that here, hundreds of kilometers away, from
the Astra2 satellite ! And in perfect quality too. For free !
If you think that the terrestrial signal is inferior (the same
is said of the DVB-T signals in NL and Belgium), then I don't
understand why you just don't get a satellite dish and get it
over with. They compress more lightly, and you will be happier.
I can send you a photo of my dish with 3 LNBs, and Triax don't
even recommend this dish for 3. But it works anyway, haha.
BTW, I will consider Digitenne (Dutch DVB-T) for a third or
fourth TV, but my first and second will stay tuned on Astra !
Best,
-- Jeroen
