Lost Signal

[packmanuk]

I was on 28.2 but wanted to find other sats. So I changed the setting as the ucals guide said and put in all the info.

Now the dish moves but I can't get back to 28.2. I can move the positoner and get a lock and all seems fine but when I exit its not 28.2.

Any ideas ?

When I go to positioner and move the dish I can lock to 28.2. I then save it (or think I do) and exit the setup menu. Then when I go to watch a channel on 28.2 the dish moves to another position and the sat symbol flashed in the top corner even after the dish has stopped.

In tuner configuration,in configuration mode choose simple.
Mode choose positioner and put correct long and lat in,this is for usals.

I did that and the dish moves fine. I just can't tune certain sats.

If I search for a sat it sometimes finds it and stops othertimes goes straight past without stopping.

I tuned 13e with no problems but can't get 28 or 19 e

I go to positioer and lock in on the sat without problems. I then go to manual scan the sat that i'm on and everytime just before the scan it moves the dish just a bit and I can't get anything.

Don't know what to do now.

Maybe out of date sat xml file or are you using old bouquets?
Can you select a strong channel like one of the fta channels on 28.2 which has a strong transponder.

sounds like you have put the dish well out off align this only way to get it back now is a meter to 1w and enter long and lat correclty its a bloddy hard job

I can tune in to the sat using a positioner so shouldn't the alignment be ok ? I've got 19e and 13e working now.

I get 100% signal on 28e using the positioner its when I go to scan for channels the dish for some reason moves. I get the flashing dish in the top right and it doesn't find the signal again.

When I search for sats it sees 28e locks on but doesn't stop and goes right on by.

Maybe I should delete all my 28e channels from yesterday and the bouquets I added and start again ?

[packmanuk]

Anyone got any ideas what to try next ?

[bubbles69]

yes long and lat is incorrect

[packmanuk]

How do I get my exact details and which figures do I put in ? For example do I put 0 before any figures ?

[packmanuk]

Can someone give me the exact figures I should put in for the postcode tq149nf ?

Thanks for that. The settings are the exact ones I have in my machine.

Still nothing. Do you think I should delete the scanned channels on 28e and start again ? I can't get lots of sats like 1w or anything after about 10e really.

Is there anyway to adjust the dish angle without going up a ladder ?

I'm still not sure thats the problem though as I had 28.2 locked before I can get it again using the sat positioner. The problem is it moves to another postion when I try to watch a channel or scan, not much but enough.
