Hi,
I just bought a receiver (EyeTV Sat) and am trying to work it out.
At this moment, I cannot see BBC and ITV's main channels.
My flat has 2 dishes installed already when I moved in and I am expecting that one of the dishes can be used with my receiver.
According to web search, all I need to have is a dish which faces to 28.2 E for Astra 2D to receive BBC/ITV.
The 2 dishes are facing at different angles. So I was hoping one of them are facing to 28.2E.
However, when I auto-tune with both dishes, there is no BBC(main channels)/ITV in the list of found channels, even if the total number of the tuned channels were more than 200~300.
Providers of channels from Dish 1 (not name of channel)
Eutelsat, Telespazio, CYFRA+, DMT, OVERON, GlobalCast...etc
BBC radio channels were tuned but no BBC TV.
Providers of channels from Dish 2
Digital+, ARD, TVP, IMEDIA, ZDFvision...etc
(Note: these auto-tune was done with 28.2 Astra 2D settings, when I change the settings to i.e. 19.2, 28.5, 26.0....etc, I could tune BBC world)
I checked which satellite is broadcasting these channels on websites, that looked to me that I'm receiving 19.2E (Astra 1x), 28.5E Eurobird1, 13.0E hotbird but no 28.2E.
I think I anyway have to try re-align the dishes but I'm wondering why I cannot receive 28.2E.
At least 19.2, 28.2 and 28.5 are very close each other and I think my receiver/dishes should be able to receive 28.2, as it receives channels from 19.2 and 28.5.
If anyone can advise me for my situation to receive BBC/ITV, it will be appreciated.
