      there was an artical on last weeks watchdog on bbc1 about setanta. basically its not on teh normal '$ky' satellite. (which i didnt know at all). your dish may need realigning or try the bigger dish (zone 1 or 2 could never remember which one the bigger one is).

        Yeah, I saw that mate, was sorta interesting, but I dont think he was exactly complaining about Setanta, I could be very wrong but reading between the lines I actually thought he was after decrypting channels for FREE, if i'm wrong then I'm sorry, so I gave him advice based on that, or atleast started him in the right direction :-)

          setanta is broadcasted at 28.5 e and not 28.2e...

          Read the Rules here; they apply to Everyone.

              dont know if 28.5e is listed but the dish would need to go ever so slightly to the right as ur facing the dish. but could also be the skew on the LNB. could be a case of try and see wot works.

              @MOLEY. yea i see what you mean. not sure as it could be a decryption problem then.

              HITMAN07 are you using a card to view setanta?

                      Great best to check your signal levels first.

                            hes using a share.

                            are u sure the cline works? as in if you have the freeview period why wouldnt u have the paid service if u have a working share. maybe seek another cline or check the line itself.

                              yep i agree then.. if your getting it from a share and your getting the freeview but it goes blank on encryption.. then, that tells me your share hasnt a setanta sub..
