For jno:-
After you have done the default transponder and cancelled the new installation, try downloading from 11798H, SR 27500, FEC 2/3 as the Scottish BBC One is ther.

10773 is used as default transponder (one can use any which definitely does not reach your dish) as it is on 2D and will not reach a dish up to 1.2m. as used by most users in the south who rely on the BBC. The idea is to avoid interference when you download on to Add Channels from 11720 where the BBC is broadcasting (at the moment) as well as on 2D.
The normal default transponder is 11778 which is on the north beam, while most users in the south with small dishes rely on 11720.

danairey and other guys who have helped me here, I love you all - I got back BBC 1 Scotland - albeit a temporary measure I know but thanks guys.

The box seems dead except for "other channels" but I have all these on a second box now. Many thanks to all that have helped here.

OK mayflower I'll give it a shot . Firstly DON'T do a New Instalation .

The object of this game is too screw (in a technical sense) the digibox up .

Follow these instructions exactly .

Services , 4 , 0 , 1 & Enter . Go to Default Transponder and change it to 10.773H . Scroll down and SAVE .
Now disconnect the mains plug . Leave it for 10 seconds and reconnect . Wait another 5 seconds and then switch the box on . Don't hang around ! . Go straight to Services , 4 , 4 and scan 11.720H (or 11.798H for BBC Scotland channels) .
Once the channels appear then Add them using the yellow button and Select to store them . Now push Services again and 6 (Other Channels) , scroll to the channel you want and push select . Let me know how you get on .

This will work anywhere as long as you're in the 2A southbeam footprint . Once the digibox is "lost" i.e the "No Signal" message
is received on ALL channels then you'll be able to Add these channels manually . As long as the box CAN'T receive anthing from the default transponder then it'll work .

@mayflower,

Forget about the Default Transponder . Well don't forget about it , just don't look at it . What happens when you get to ..

Services , 4 , 0 , 1 & Enter . Go to Default Transponder and change it to 10.773H . Scroll down and SAVE .
Now disconnect the mains plug . Leave it for 10 seconds and reconnect . Wait another 5 seconds and then switch the box on . Don't hang around ! . Go straight to Services , 4 , 4 and scan 11.720H (or 11.798H for BBC Scotland channels) .
Once the channels appear then Add them using the yellow button and Select to store them . Now push Services again and 6 (Other Channels) , scroll to the channel you want and push select .


... Here ?? What do you get on the screen ??

Sorry , thanks Mike there WAS a typo it's 11720H & 11798H !!

And I've just found an even easier way without switching the box off .

Services , 4 , 0 , 1 Enter . Change Default Transponder to 10.773H and SAVE . Now go to Services , 4 (Add Channels) . The Frequency should by default now be 10.773H . Do a scan on this frequency and you should get the "No Signal" message . Now push the "Sky" button and you should now be looking at a blue screen . Then it's off to Services , 4 , 4 and scan 11.720H (or 11.798H for BBC Scotland channels) .
Once the channels appear then Add them using the yellow button and Select to store them . Now push Services again and 6 (Other Channels) , scroll to the channel you want and push select .

Success in Vienna.

I followed the instructions from Paul below and it works. Now got BBC 1 to 4. No regionals or radio or am I being too greedy. However, using this procedure means I can only now receive the channels under the OTHER CHANNELS category. Fortunately I am running two boxes off a twin LNB so I can keep one set for BBC, presumably up until mid July


Follow these instructions exactly .

Services , 4 , 0 , 1 & Enter . Go to Default Transponder and change it to 10.773H . Scroll down and SAVE .

tried last night but had the same problems as some of the postings here regarding the digi box always going back to the default transponders but i shal try pcmill's suggestions tonight (just in time for the switch off!!!)

maybe it might be an idea for us to report on the type of box we are using, software and epg version as this may have an impact on whether other people can get it to work!!

for what it is worth i am using a panny 30 with latest operating and epg software together with a new viewing card
