A Little Help Please for Skybox F3

[mouleetfrite]

I have just installed an F3 added Astra 2 and updated the channel list all the channels have been picked up but no UK channels work (BBC and ITV etc) only european HD and normal resolution work.
Any help please.

is it a fixed dish? and are you sure its pointing at 28.2e, which european channels open

[mouleetfrite]

Yes its a fixed dish and its aligned accurately my old technomate works well on it. there is no signal from any UK channels yet Dutch ones work fine.......

Your dish is not pointing at 28.2e, there are no Dutch channels on 28.2e.

Channel list

Hello, I would like to know if it is possible to load a channel list via USB.

This is for a F3, I am trying to get a list loaded for USUALS 28.2 E to 30W. Is anyone got a list ?

[mouleetfrite]

Sorry my mistake the dish is definatly on 28.2 of that there is no doubt the dreambox picks up everything and the f3 scans all the channels but no UK ones will work

you could check the lnb is set onto universal settings, i think it's 97500 - 106000 something like that ..

If you are picking up Dutch channels, it sounds like you are on ether 19.2e or 23.5e...
Hope this helps, Nudge your dish east.
