Re: cannot make this Asus my cinema-u3100miniplusv2 work under linux
anyone can explain to me why i cannot seem to catch anything else than rai and how can i use a legally bought scart into an omnikey reader to get scrambled channels ? Il 31/12/2012 21:09 Antti Palosaari ha scritto: No! You will need a real antenna, not amplifier(?) like that. One of the best and easily available antennas in EU are Televes DAT75 and few Triax models. Compare DAT75 and your antenna, DAT75 is 19dB and your is 30dB, guess which one is still 1000x better. You will not likely need that heavy antenna like DAT75 as you still have a signal. Some 10-20 euros 1m long Yagi is enough. regards Antti On 12/18/2012 12:32 AM, Renato Gallo wrote: is there any kind of filter so that i can filter out the noise and then amplify the signal ?
