setting up problems

[father ted]

whooooooooooooooooooo ok so far this is it ,i was playing with it and got it to goto as**19.2 as i was doing it bbc1 came as the motor was going towards the sat,so what i done was in the motor set up there is a position set up so i jagged it one click one way then when i got nothing i went the other way and evetually got bbc1,but when i went to another channel i got nothing,so i took a rough guess where it was sitting and reset the motor to what i thot was 19.2 then went up ladder and done a sat find and moved the dish till i got snr 91%,agr 96% and ber 0 ,then went and put it onto bbc1 and it came on, can look at all the channels on that sat so done the same with ast** 2/3/4 or whatever its called again it came on but i can only get them via postion 1/2/3/4 ?if i send dish to the sat i dont get them but as i have 19.2 on positon 1 i do that and all the channels appear(well the ones that you can get cbbies/itv/bbc/think its film4) too so any ideas ?am i doing it right or is theresomething else am doing wron ooooooooo and the picture quality is superb

I maybe wrong but there is no BBC on 19.2E so you must have the dish pointing at 28.2E when you think it is pointing to 19.2E. I was going to say try selecting the Premeier bouquets from the bouquets going to one of the channels but I think you will find that it won't clear unless you have the latest dreambox keys loaded. Check DF sticky for clearing Premier.

I passed you're house earlier. I don't think you are doing it right Father.

i now can tell it to go to 28.2 and it does it .so do you think its something else?ive told it to go to the 19.2 and 28.2 and the 23 .8 (think thats the other one on astra and it goes to them but mind you am only picking up them 3 sats but hey at least its astart and am getting good qaulity pictures


i defo know that the 28.2 one is correct becasue its the same channel list i have when i set up my box with the old sly dish i had on the wall ,everything matches and when i tell it to goto that sat it does it,so wot is the other 2 i have picked ?and as i say its still only 3 sats or what i think is 3

[Curious123]

If you are getting the S*y channels when you are on 19.2 than your dish is pointing 9 degrees to the left too much assumning you are standing behind your dish. I would say that you have got your South wrong by 9 to 10 degrees. Send your dish to 0 degrees than imagine you are standing behind the dish and move the motor and dish 10 degrees to your right.

He has already tried that which is why his dish is pointing too far to the left!

[father ted]

i get everything thats on the sky package for that particular sat, these are pictures of what i get as you can see one of them is bbc1 "houses under auction" and the other is the audi channel as you can see the logo in the left hand corner the others show bouquets and channels and also sats i have found but its still only 3 as you csan see the picture quality is excelent you will see in the bottom righ hand corner the sat name and the position and curious123,it was as small a hammer as that

[max_gee]

whats happened is that your actually on 28 degrees but youve told the box its on 19 degrees.

the reason you got some channels is that when u did a scan using the tp's and freq on 19 it found the channels that are on the same freq / polarity on 28.

i could be wrong tho but your dish is deffo on 28

[rickets]

If thats the case what does he need to do to synchronise them ? Does he still have to move the dish or can he get the receiver to figure it out ?

[Curious123]

The bouquets that we are looking at is it the 'ALL Services'? If you still have the captains bouquets loaded can you select the 'Premeier' bouquets and than select Premeier START? just want to see if you are able to pick up anything on 19.2E.

the reason i have that bouqets ia thast the one i got from my scan with which i presume 28.2 captains ones just say "service removed " ive checke the dish and it is 28.2 (or near as damn it )east of 0

[Curious123]

Send your captains settings again to your box so that it overrides the channel list that you currently have on your box and than do a scan on 28.2E

SETUP > Scan Tansponders and satellites > Automatic scan > 28.2E

and that way the settings for the channels should fall into the correct slots.

I dont know if this will help but sometimes if you add too much to the var then the whole image becomes read only causing errors similar to the ones you described.
