Channels that require a decoder to view but do not require a subscription. That could be sub channels in the future. As with my Coship receiver compared to either of my other 2 DVB receivers. With the other 2 I get "scrambled channel" on all Irdeto channels. With the Coship some Iredeto channels are watchable and others are not.

One of several reasons is that the baseband output of an analog receiver allows you to accurately determine the SR of a DVB signal, if you feed it into a communications receiver capable of FM reception in the HF band. Ie I use my Broadlogic receiver to give me a spectrum of a satellite, from which I can see signals, then I tune my analog receiver to that frequency, and feed the baseband output to my short wave receiver, and I can very accurately pin down the SR value of the signal.

This can also be used with a known signal to locate a satellite quickly. Ie I set up my analog receiver on the frequency of a known signal on a sat I'm looking for, and set up the shortwave on the SR value, then move my dish, and when I get close to the sat I'm looking for, I'll see the signal meter go up on the shortwave, and hear the static go to a full quieting signal. This is generally faster than putting a DVB receiver on a signal, because there is usually a delay in the signal meter response on the DVB receivers, whereas the SW signal is an instant response.

Anyway, just a couple reasons that I would never be without an analog receiver, even though I watch very few analog signals anymore.
Is this all that is required to set up a treedish Actually fair enough. My response was strictly from a view TV line of thought. You know, turn it on and have picture.
