Hi Jan, yes I can watch channels on Vivid bouquet, some of which are FTA channels. Here is some channels I can get a lock and a picture on vdr: GodCh;GodCh:11674:vC56M2O0S0:S68.5E:26652:0:0:0:0:110:73:3:0 ASTV;ASTV:11674:vC56M2O0S0:S68.5E:26652:0:0:0:0:111:73:3:0 > > At the moment the signal strength measurement is a bit whacked, so don't > worry too much about it.
