Hippsat 30W question

[spearmintone]

Sorry if this seems stupid but: after a TP scan of the above I seem to be getting loads of english stuff on Hippsat 30W, such as C4 BBC and various ITV channels. I have been on Lynsat and had a look at the listings but cannot see any of the English stuff. Now I have been trying to load various patches and softcams up for weeks now - have I bolloxed my box or should these channels be there?

Thanks in advance from a novice...

hi m8,
you are have not got your dish on hispasat 30w
most chns on there are in spanish and portuguese
with channels like taquilla canal+ there are channels
that have english audio but all the channels on this
satellite are encrypted in n3 and are not open unless
you have a official subscription card, there are also lots of
free to air channels in spanish audio do any of these open
if they do which are they? in anouther post [thor help]
you said you were on thor 1w and the patch would'nt open
the channels. after seeing this post if you have bbc and itv etc:
as you have been told it looks like your dish is pointing at astra 2@28e
as for the box being damaged the patch and softcam open no channels
on this satellite. you need to start by setting the dish on thor 1w
and from there find and set all the other satellites.
a bit of info on you set up would help to get better advice
ie: what size dish. which motor are you useing and is it set
on usuals or diseqc 1.2 motor settings. was the dish fitted for you
or did you fit it?
i sent you a pm about the receiver and thor 1w after reading your other thread

Thanks fellas. I think I had the thing on disc 1.2 and had it all over the place. I'll try it on USUALs one and give it a go. This would explain why I couldn't clear channels on Thor 1 if I wasn't really on the thing...

Regards and thanks.
