<DIV>I was hoping that others using the NOVA-T 500 could advise their experience, I am wondering if I am chasing something that is not possible. On the other hand if someone is getting pixelation free HD pictures using the NOVA-T 500 I would love to hear about your hardware and settings.</DIV>

I've just spent the weekend catching up a months worth of previously unwatchable Battlestar Galactica. <BR><BR>Jonathan<BR> <BR></DIV></DIV><BR>Hi Jonathon,</DIV>

<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman, new york, times, serif">thanks for the info.</DIV>

<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman, new york, times, serif">Can you please advise what signal strength you have and also what video card you are using. </DIV>

<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman, new york, times, serif">I am using a 93 element UHF aerial but I would consider getting an extension to get it mounted higher as I don't have line of sight to Mt Kaukau. Still will not have line of site but higher should be better. On the other hand the settop box had no problem with the existing reception but it could jut be that the NOVA-T 500 needs a better signal.</DIV>
