    Skybox F5 satellite help

    Hi to everyone !!!

    Tomorrow I am going to buy a new Skybox F5. At my home I have only Hotbird (13) and Eutelsat (16), no motor.

    As I am new with this I want to ask to experts this question. When scanning channels I will face Diseqc 1.0 and 1.1.

    Now I have Hotbird as (A) and Eutelsat as (B).

    How will be my settings of Diseqc 1.0 and 1.1? That's thee only thing I don't understand.

    PS: If anyone can suggest me the best way to search channels, do please....

    Thanks to all !!!

      I assume you are using a 3 degree monoblock.

      From the satellite list select Hotbird, then Edit. In the Diseqc settings, set Diseqc 1.0 to 1 (or it may show as Port1 or 1/4).

      Select Eutelsat & edit Diseqc 1.0 setting for 2 (or Port2 or 2/4).

      Leave Diseqc 1.1 as Disable.
