Hi, my mate has a starview "the box" with the latest v4 software loaded. he lives in Ashford - Wicklow and has basic NTL which runs from an aerial to an NTL box. when he disconnected the NTL box and connected the starview he autoscanned and only picked up about 20 channels. does anyone have any idea how this should be setup to get more channels? will the v4 software auto update also? cheers
Microwave Multi Distribution System (MMDS): Distributes signals by microwave. Home receiver picks up signal, then distributes via internal wiring. The MMDS band uses microwave frequencies from 2 GHz to 3 GHz in range. Reception of MMDS-delivered television signals is done with a special rooftop microwave antenna and a set-top box for the television receiving the signals. The antenna usually has an integrated down-converter to transmit the signals at frequencies compatible with terrestrial TV tuners down on the coax (much like on satellite dishes where the signals are converted down to frequencies more compatible with standard TV coaxial cabling), some larger antennas utilise an external down-converter. The receiver box is very similar in appearance to an analog cable television receiver box.
