channel list for astra 19e astra 28e and hotbird please

[peterpixel]

hello all I am trying to scan hotbird to download channels, but for some reason my openbox m4 does not seem to work with my lnb regardless of settings.

so I used a feed from my sky dish and downloaded channels from 28e which worked, I then swung my moterised dish to 28e and the m4 worked ok with stored channels, using the lnb settings from the download I tried hotbird to no avail.


so the only way I can get what I want if I can find a list to upload to my box

I want astra 19e astra 28e hotbird 13e but cannot see a list for anything other than 28e on the forum or find anything via google

thank you

Thats mainly because these types of receivers where sold to the Plug & Play brigade who literally just want to watch TV mainly 28.2? east

do u have motrised dish?

[peterpixel]

thank you both for replies, yes my dish is moterised, having spent some time swopping my lnb for a sky quad one to try.

I have finally found why I was having trouble re hotbird, in the satellite list there is one named (hotbird) however I noticed that there is also eutelsat hot ku which is what I should have scanned.

I sent dish to astra 19e (using a different receiver) connected openbox m4 and scanned , then 23e 28e then hotbird 13e



something is not right with set up though, I have a picture on receiver called fransat info the m4 thinks its on 23e but in fact the dish is about 12 degrees west.


not sure how I set usals with this particular reciver, the supplied manual has very small text

thanks again

Take it from me these boxes are not ideal for motorised dishes or to watch anything other than Sky UK. Get a DM800 or VU if you want to watch Euro sats

Anyone got a channel list for 28,13 and 19? I dont see what is difficult or not ideal about the skybox being used for a motorised dish it works really well i have a openbox f5s and can get channels on 5,10,13,16,19,23.5 and 28 anything i fancy and hasnt took much setting up at all using mgcamd as well
