off-air by (in most cases) the cabling from "head end" to receiver.
So off-air signals will always be present at the receiver on their original
frequencies, in a less-than-ideal condition, even if you filtered them out
at
the "head end".

Incidentally, does anyone know why all IT people are called Steve? Is it
something to do with their bits?

A filter on every single outlet in an affected area?
An expensive and lossy kludge - yuk.

One finds that filters placed after the point of introduction of
unwanted signals tend to do more good than before. Still, your choice.

No... the whole cause of pre-echo, is that unwanted signal is being picked up
off-air by (in most cases) the cabling from "head end" to receiver.
So off-air signals will always be present at the receiver on their original
frequencies, in a less-than-ideal condition, even if you filtered them out at

It's certainly a DIY job if you have a reasonable patience and the
general DIY knowhow. As others have said, the most important thing is
getting the initial alignment right, picking up the wrong sat can be
very confusing to the novice.
I've done some pages that should help. I suggest starting with

Which NAS do you have? Many already include a capability to act as a
media server.

Even there you are not going to get clear answers, since machine word
size alone is not the complete answer (e.g. how do you classify a 68008

Yup, when the .pst grows past 2GB OE can't handle it.
Sometimes lopping a lump out towards the start of the file to bring it
under 2GB and then running a .pst repair program will recover it with
loss of a few old emails.

If you run a Upnp server in the NAS then you can connect to it with a Upnp
compatible device such as a Roberts WM 202 radio.
Some NAS such as the Netgear Readnas Duo come with a Upnp server built in.
Some Hifi amplifiers will connect to Upnp servers. The quality is the same
as playing a CD if the CD has been ripped using a lossless format.
