[QUOTE="kropotkin, post: 1072919, member: 413889"] Thanks all! "It might be easier to ask one of your neighbours, or the building manager, what satellites are available, and the required settings." The landlord is pretty unresponsive, and the neighbours are . . . let's not talk about the neighbours. I'd prefer to fix it myself if possible, and it seems like a puzzle that has a solution. " So I would indeed (as @CH proposes) check what programs you get when you scan with diseqc 1.0 (or diseqc 2.0) setting A, B, C and D. You'd have to try each setting, and do a blind scan each time." OK, so . . . I think I have done this, but I have a couple of questions. Scanning the following positions set as A, B, C, D, I get: 13.0E 11 channels (subset of those on 19.2) 16.0E 0 channels 19.2E 317 channels (none of the ones I want!) 21.5E 0 23.5E 0 25.5E 0 26.0E 0 28.2E 65 channels (subset of those on 19.2) 30.5E 0 31.5E 0 33.0E 0 This seems to confirm the idea that the dish is primarily picking up 19.2E. Questions: 1. When you say "try each setting", what exactly should I vary? Should I try each position as A, then B, etc? (so far I have just tried each in one slot). 2. "blind scan". Not explicitly an option in the menus I get. Could it be called something else? "Network scan"? The message I'm getting is that I need to do something funky with LNB settings relative to some satellite position, but I've not yet managed to find out from google what that funky thing is . . .
