My Satellite Setup
4 systems. In Scotland Freesat with Humax Foxsat recorder. In Algarve 1.5 fixed Inv Quad LNB with 3 Pace 2600C1 and 1 Amstrad HD DRX780UK also 80cm dish with Inverto 0.2db monoblock LNB (19.2E/26E) feeding Technomate 5000CI+ usb.
My Location
Scotlandl and Algarve
I believe that the Pace 2600C1 sets the standard for fringe reception. Does anybody know how the Freesat boxes compare?
 
I would also appreciate if any of you who has got such knowledge could advise which of the Freesat boxes is the best for fringe reception areas? I heard some rumours that Bush is of decent sensitivity. Anyone have tested it yet?
 
HUMAX HDFOX is the best Freesat receiver for fringe areas ,i tested them one by one here in spain ...regards

Most certainly it looks the best but sensitivitywise it may not be as good a Bush....

He claims Bush is more accurate for fringe areas. How about that?

I need to make a right decision because I won't have a chance to get my money back. I am going to make an use of it in Poland.
 
Attenuating signal through a spectrum analyser (for this is how the test was done) does not give a result reliable enough to make a buying decision. In fringe areas there is usually a wide difference between the strength of the beams used on Astra 2, and some tuners cope with this better than others. The test could not replicate real fringe reception.
A number of users have reported that the Humax Foxsat HD is giving the best results.

Hopefully it's going to be better then my DRX400 which in my case is the most suitable for fringe area out of SKY boxes.
