[QUOTE="Justin, post: 644064, member: 334580"] Could anybody please help me with this? I bought the Fortec Star 4400 from Maplin yesterday. I spent ten hours yesterday afternoon/evening/night trying to tune-in all the FTA channels. It's driving me mad. 'O'-red I live in a block of flats and the landlord installed a communal Satellite Dish, so I have no idea what model or size it is. I figured out how to manually add the Eurobird 1 satellite to the Satellite List (28.5E) and the receiver [I]has[/I] found some channels on a Blind Scan. I've also enabled all the other satellites in the Satellite List by "ticking them" in the appropriate menu. I've ran a Blind Scan on every single satellite now, countless times. The channels which it [I]has[/I] picked up are a mixture of Horizontal and Vertical - so after Googling (a lot) I believe that means that the LNB is fine. I can't tune-in [I]any[/I] of the ITV channels; No C4 channels; No C5; No BBC2, BBC3, BBC4... All the receiver seems to pick-up is BBC1 (most of the regional variations), Zone Romantica, True Movies, Movies4Men, Movies4Men2, Movies4Men2+1, some lame quiz channels, Flava, NME TV, Scuzz, Flaunt, and countless scary channels featuring religious preaching or women writhing around in their underwear. I bought the receiver predominantly so I could receive the Film24 channel. I know how to add the relevant satellite, manually add a TP and search the TP... It just keeps coming up with nothing. Can anybody help? I've updated the firmware from the Fortec website which doesn't appear to have made any difference - and in fact seems to be an earlier version than what was originally installed! Would it be helpful if I wrote down which TPs fail when processing a Blind Scan on the Astra 2 and Eurobird 1 satellites? I'm in Bolton, 53°35'N 02°26'W. [/QUOTE]
