Starview HD fine on cable but most channels scrambled on sat

Hi thanks for the responses, yeah its a std s*y dish so I expect it will be pointing to S*y UK. It does pick up plenty of channels on both Thor and Hotbird but they are encrypted. Is this defo because of the dish/direction or could it be a software issue, Im happy that the combo software went on correctly but the box didnt seem to do anything when I opened the softcam key in the same way. If ive got to go for a different dish in place of the std S~y one then would my phone/broadband (which is all part of my new S*y box) still work if my dish isnt pointing at their sat). Im kicking my self getting rid of cable, things were so much simpler and had a fair bit of HD.

The dish is pointing at 28.2e (sly uk) its physically impossible for you to get anything on thor or hotbird as the dish cant move to them sats its fixed! all you are doing is scanning thinking you are on thor or hotbird but you are on 28.e all the time
putting a motorised dish up wont effect your bb or phone.
