Maybe the leafs are the problem. I'll know it in a few weeks. :-)

"quite good" means: no snow in the picture, but when there are greater areas
with one color you see a little bit noise. The color is not bright. I'll
hope you understand. This was "normal" for me, but the picture from a normal
terestrical TV is better. (At least with the Loewe TV at my friend. :-)  )

AFAIK the picture with linux was good last winter with the old dish, so
possibly it is the silly tree's fault that I couldn't watch digital tv.
