[QUOTE="Tassie Devil, post: 553160, member: 302733"] Just joined and hope someone here can help me with a problem with Select TV pay satellite service - not sure if all settings on the Toppy are correct. The detail: Got connected to Select TV the other day and have had the dish lined up correctly by a techo but the setup is not trouble free. I’m missing something – only one radio station plays, the others are scrambled. All appear to be tuned in correctly. I'm mystified by the meaning of the $ signs on the right in the available programs windows for both TV and radio. The one (TCTFM) radio station which does play has no $ sign on the right & plays fine. All the other radio stations do have a $ sign beside the "T1" but will not play (red bar notice appears to say that the signal is scrambled etc ). But all the TV stations also show the $ sign to the left of "T1" on the channel list and they are playing fine. THE SETTINGS: I set the satellite as “other” and make manual settings as follows: I see Select broadcast on 3 frequencies 12286, 12326 and 12526. (Reference at _http://www.lyngsat.com/intel8.html 12526 is the present one set but 12286 appears to be as good. I’ve tried scanning on all three frequency settings but get the same result every time – only one radio channel plays.)(-red All have a symbol rate of 28800 with horizontal polarisation. The LNB setting correct at 9750/10600 (that is on the LNB). The setting for FTA/Scrambled on the Toppy is either FTA + CAS or CAS only. FTA finds no channels. This is all a bit frustrating and is not as trouble free as hoped. So, where is my problem? 1. The Topfield 5000 PVR? 2. The setting on that PVR? 3. The purple CAM being used (as is used by Mediastar)?? All advice gratefully received.Humping I have scanned and rescanned until I can do it with my eyes shut (and might get better results that way!). But there is something I’m missing with the Toppy.'O'-red Ideas anyone? All contributions gratefully received. TIA John [/QUOTE]
