[QUOTE="vt_perplexed, post: 541934, member: 298780"] Hi guys, I can't find the answer to this anywhere on the web and hope you can help: Problem: I can only receive the channels listed as coming from Astra 2A at 28.2°E but not the others in the group (e.g. Eurobird 1 & Astra 2B/2C/2D). i.e. I can only get some channels but not those on Astra 2D like BBC HD, BBC1, ITV etc.. Some background info: > I live in a central London flat and use a communal Sky dish (I guess it must be pointing at 28E since I can receive Astra 2A - If these channels are available from another satellite maybe I'm wrong). > I use the new Humax Freesat HD receiver (FoxSat-HD) > Freesat tuning did not work, I only found the channels from Astra 2A by performing a full scan in the manual tuning options. > Software updates do not work (presumably because I can't access Eurobird 1) > Postcode search always turns up as Postcode Invalid (presumably because I can't access Eurobird 1) >The channels I can receive are all those listed on this page: [url]http://www.lyngsat.com/astra2a.html[/url] (i.e. the Sky channels and the Welsh freesat channels like S4C) Any advice/insights or guesses would be greatly appreciated ! Many thanks in advance. [/QUOTE]
