you didn't say if you have motorised dish:

if you have motorised.. do you get reception on 28?

if not.. what channel does it find? if it's the uk channels, do a factory reset so the initial setup comes up and select 28 as your default (and only) satellite

..if the channels are foreign you may need your dish moved

no don't have a motorized dish i will try doing a factory reset m8 and i don't seam to get any channel on 28 just the uk ~~~~ ones shopping etc on 13

Goto setup/satellites and transponders/satfind and report back your AGC and SNR %'s.
Be sure your setup to receiver 28.2E single sat/lnb if your on a static dish.
