Problem with softcam

try the FTA TP 12.051 V 27500 on 19.2E sat1A and prosieben channels on here and should confirm what sat your on the canal/sat mtv channels are opening fine.

As I said, you are trying to tune the wrong satellite. The SCT channels are only found on Hotbird 13 E.

I'm a little confused haha, but I'm taking that neither of my dishes are correctly pointing at 19.2E (as I've tried scanning on both of dishes)? So I'd have to get up there and move it. I thought it was strange when I chose Hotbird 13E and scanned the same transponder frequencies and came back with the same 18 channels.

But why do they appear when I select the 19.2E satellite to scan?

Sorry if I'm being too obvious, it's been a while!

Yep, it seems my dishes aren't aligned properly! Shit . Although when I choose my second dish, it scans Boomerang, Toonami I an Cartoon netwrk with CAS: NDS on those frequencies.

Seems both dishes need an overhaul..

If you can pick up Toonami I then the dish is aligned on Astra 2A at 28.2 E ie: Sky/Freesat

Its all coming back now! And the other dish is at Hotbird 13E. Thanks for all your help, its very much appreciated. I'll proceed to experiment with the alignment when I have time, or better upgrade to a motor!

Final question, is there a place/method where I can find a 'reference' transponder for a certain satellite (such as 19.2e)? I don't have a scanner, so will just be using the STB. Don't want to make the same mistake again when seeing a high signal for 11379 when it's not even pointing at the correct satellite!
