The channels are different - you won't find a Sky One or Sky Sports Mix on 19.2°E.

That's probably why I didn't see it before then on my F3 box.
Thanks for the info...

Hi,
Well I think the dish is set to 28.2E now, so currently all good,
Did a re-scan and noticed the frequency rate and symbol rate is different to the list on the Web, 1 should be 10714 and one should be 10803, this is on channel 4 and BBC alba as examples (see images).
Is this normal or is the dish slightly off.. Picture looks fine though

The level should be a lot healthier. I find having a satellite "beeper" which are £5-10 help loads. You may even have a beeper option on your meter.

The slightly off frequency & symbol rate is nothing to worry about.

Have you adjusted the LNB skew - the cables should should be exiting the LNB at between 6 & 7 o'clock when looking from the front of the dish.

Hi,
Yes it has the beeper tone, it's the Satlink WS-6909.

Did you check the meter while adjusting the skew to maximise the signal?

Yes,
Had a good signal, just threw me with the frequency off slightly, was thinking the meter was playing up, I've emailed satlink to see if a firmware update is available and if they have a transponder list update, I manually added them but not sure if they can send a latest list, will have to see.

Thanks
