Sorry for not responding over the last few days, real life intervened in the form of a bad device connection that blew the fuses on all the ring main circuits including the computer's. That said, Microsoft's new browser decided to lose all my recent additions to favourites, including this forum...

Thank you both for your input. I will add the diseqc switch to the items to be checked out. I cannot remember the actual size of the dish, although it is wider than it's high: it is not like a typically small oval sky dish, it is much larger. I don't know which LNB is the prime focus, although...

Thanks for the info about deletions. I deleted all TV and Radio channels on all 3 satellite feeds and the re-searched. Curious results to say the least. Astra 2 28.2E - Strength 80% Quality 100% channels 406 TV and 60 Radio [Just as you found] Astra 1 19.2E - Strength 85% Quality 100% channels...

I tried a manual tune to 11597 on 28.2E and the channels skipped from 11585 to 11604. Similarly a manual tune of 13.0E resulted in a skip from 11538 to 11604. This morning I searched for FTA channels of all types on 28.2E and found only 247 TV and 39 Radio: rather less than you found! How do I...

Yes I do and also what was Hotbird.

I finally got access to the tv late last night. On the listings resulting from manual tuning I have nothing visible from 11597 V to 11671 H, skipping over both 11612 H and 11627 V. Both the missing frequencies are on Astra 1M, which leads me to wonder if the box "knows" of the existence of...

Thanks for the quick response. I'm not able to be near my tv at the moment and will try to get this info later this evening. My recollection is that there is nothing visible at all for this frequency. However, I will also check CNN Int. and Al Jazeera English which appear to share the same...

I have had this box now for some 5 years and have been able to download Spanish channels on Astra 1 with ease via the advanced menu. I am aware that due to financial problems many of the Spanish regional programmes have closed. However, the state run FTA channels, TVE Internacional and Canal 24...
