channel listings tm600

[eattheliving]

if you go into the satellite installation & TP edit menu then (4) transponder edit you will get a list of sats on the left and if you scoll down/up and highlight any sat you get a list of transponders in the data base on the right, for 28.2 East I think you should have over 70 if not do a factory reset and see if they come back.

ok dick b. question will a factory reset alter any settings i have made to cccam?

sorry mate dont know as my TM500 is not connected to the internet but someone will.

but as all other settings are lost (including scanned channels) I imagine it will wipe those as well

Can pick up sat 30w,1w,most of the eastery up to 19.2e then nothing after that.... back to the dish install me thinks to check the level etc.

Hi m8,
sounds exactly the same as my first attempt, which technically speaking, I threw up in half an hour. At the time I was only interested in 1w and 30w for the wife, and it worked perfect untill I went past 19.2e.

After confirming the pole mount was plumb, it was down to dish & motor angles. In my case I only had to lift the dish a few degrees and drop the motor angle a little.

hi again, just had another go at picking up 28.2e. dismantled dish,motoer and bracket. refitted...nothing. did the same a second time but this time moved it to a different spot and was really carefull when setting everything back up. made sure everything was plumb. still nothing.
question: if i manually move the dish to pick up 28.2e do you thnk i still would be able to get 1w etc?

cheers from a very peed off newbie

The most accurate way is to point dish at due south. Drive dish to 1w and tune into BBC World news. Get strongest signal. If dish is plumb you should get all the arc.

[C_S_B]

You really need to set your dish-motor up to sat due south first, even if you cant see the sat. Otherwise your going to have same problem again.

I'm in west london and don't mind helping you, let me know if your local.

But back to dish setup I'm afraid.

The problem you'll have is that 28 is very strong and you can allmost pick it up with a wet finger.

Once you are setup on thor its only a matter of checking the sats either side for adjustment. I saw a method on another forum for how to do it this way, I ll have a look and see if I can find it.

By the way how easy is the access to your dish?
