Help required with high SNR % but no channels found

[vazel0s]

Hi,

I am hoping to get some help with a problem that I am having for the last few days.
I have a 165cm dish, with a quad LNB, pointing to Hotbird 13. Before about a week everything was working fine and then two very windy nights seemed to have moved my dish and I lost all ability to view any channels. I went up to the roof and re-aligned my dish, using a handheld satfinder device. Using a couple of TP freq's I got the SNR back to around 60% although for other TP freq's on the same satellite it is showing 4%.
However the issue here is that even on the freq's that I have very good signal on I can not get the channels that are supposedly transmitting on that freq but I do get a couple of free channels.
So I went back down to my dreambox receiver and did a network scan. Again I only got a small list of free channels and not the expected channels I was hoping for. I tried another receiver and same results. So what puzzles me is that even though my receiver is saying 70% SNR on a particular freq when I scan that freq I do not get the expected channels. How is that possible? What could be causing this? btw I also replaced my LNB (i tried a couple of LNBs actually) and still no luck.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

probably pointed the dish at the wrong satellite

name the channels you do get, check them against kingof sat website and you will find the sat they are actually on

then realign onto hotbird and get the ones you should get

Depending on your system and setup, you could move the dish by the Sat box to find the right place to move dish by hand if you want to use USALS.

As ramjet says you're probably on the wrong satellite. 19 east has similar transponders so it's what your dish might be pointing to. But with a 165cm dish who knows?
