[QUOTE="Helidave, post: 751161, member: 352512"] Hi Mike, On the "green wire", as I understand it, this should be connected to the positive side of the ignition switch so that when you turn on the engine, the sat system displays "motorhome moving" and folds down the dish and turns off. This also apparently clears the memory or previous satellite positions. The clear positions option on the system does not appear to work and the Positive to the green wire does. If the memory is not cleared, it eventually gets full of previous positions which causes the system to fail to find a new position. This is for wherever you are, not just UK. My postings on the frequencies were my take especially for the UK as I understand that Astra D is focussed more tightly on the UK but they may well work elsewhere. If you have problems with the system finding Astra 28E, firstly use the "green wire". If that doesn't work, try the settings from Scan Terrieur which I repeated in my posting of 11 June 2011. If all of that fails, then try my settings from 9 June 2011 where the signal should all be set to Y. Instead of changing your settings for Astra 28E every time, you might like to try putting my settings into Arabsat which is at 26E and should be found on your channel 409. Good luck and I am interested to hear how you go on as there is another person who seems to be having similar problems on this list. [/QUOTE]
