The transponder settings were all out of date even though i just downloaded the latest drivers. I undated the whole database manually using what satellite magazine and low and behold their was the satellite which i have to say i had been fixed on about 3 times in the last week but couldnt figure out why i was not getting a picture. Im relatively new to all this so it wasnt that obvious to me as i didnt even know until last week what a transponder was :-) not that unusual i think.That problems solved  but im getting a funny delay about half a second with the sound and picture syncing. any ideas why? is this normal for digital? how do i fix it?also some of the transponders are very weak signals, tried to adjust dish with little success. some transponders have very few tv channels coming through atall while others on the same satellite are ok. The signal bar goes from red (bad signal) to green (average?) to blue (best signal) i have never had it in the blue mostly in the green. if i get it in the green i usuall always get a picture but nothing if in red which is what is happening with the transponders with no picture received.strangely enough i picked up something which what sat magazine said i needed a 150cm dish in the north for (ie edinburgh) i live in glasgow which is further south but i got a good picture which is unusual as i have had no picture on what only required a 90cm dish (according to what sat) and ideas???i thought hallmark was in the clear on 707 but i cant get it and have poor signal on present transponder but others fine. why?I know 2old mentioned signal strength etc previously to me but how does this explain me picking up bigger dish channels and not picking up channels on smaller recommended dishes?incidently im getting nothing on nilesat at 7 west as apparently it needs a 180cm to 300cm dish so this part atleast makes sense.</blockquote>
