With a decent aerial you should easily be able to get the signal from Aldgate East. I live in North East Hackney which is even further and my signal is fine. That said, I'm on top of a hill and I have a roof mounted aerial all to myself. > Maybe I was closer to the transmitter before and now there is not > enough power to get the signal. The signal is strong enough, you just need a capable aerial. Have you tried a set-top/indoor aerial? Just get a cheap one for a couple of quid and give it a try. It'll give you an idea if the buildings aerial is dud. > I've tried kaffeine 0.8.2 but scanning both for AUTO and > uk-CrystalPalace only finds 8 TVs and 1 Radio, while scan (from > dvb-apps) finds many channels (and BBC HD1). > > How do you tell kaffeine to scan for HDTV? DVB->Configure DVB->DVB Device set to auto, then go back to the scan page and Kaffeine should scan all frequencies without an initial tuning file. As for watching DVB, don't expect to watch it live, I don't think a computer is commonly available that is powerful enough to decode the signals in real-time. I record them, reencode to XviD, and then play that. It's long-winded, takes time (about 12hours per hour of recording), but it can be worth it :) BBC's natural history program Planet Earth looks particularly good, and they're due to start broadcasting Galapagos on Friday which looks to be even better.
