    Need some help getting french/german channels

    Hi guys im a noob when it comes to this sort of stuff i was just wondering if any of you could help me with adding german/french channels to my box..

    Ive tried searching the 19.2E satellite but every time i do that it just comes up with a load of UK channels and not german... so im not sure what i should be doing...


    If any of you could help me out i would appreciate it.

    Oh and my dish is 60cm if that helps...

    60cm should get you plenty on 19.2 East but if you keep getting lots of UK channels, then it's obvious your dish is not pointing at 19.2 East but 28.2 East.

    You'll need to move your dish in a westerly direction a little. Then do a rescan. Then you can have RTL to your hearts desire.

      Thanks a lot for that response mate, sounds like the best bet for me is to get a motorized dish, any recommendations? Preferably something on the lower end of the price scale

      EDIT: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TECHNOMATE...-/120964400119 could that be attached to my dish? my dish is just a standard sky 1

        If you only want 19.2e & 28.2e, and no other sats, then it's possible to add another LNB to a Sky mini dish. It's a bit of a bodge, but a lot of people did this a few years ago to watch F1 on RTL. Have a look here:-

        I only have Sky 28.2 in my list of satellites, how can I add all the ones that came with my Skybox F3... which have somehow disappeared. I'm using the excellent AJ list, does the tp_prog file also contain all the satellites?
