[QUOTE="Rvator, post: 891026, member: 402382"] Hello Analoguesat and cortez1000 I can report some success. Initially my first attempts using the provided frequency criteria just ended up with the antenna locking on to a satellite but an auto scan of my Maxview MXL020 FTA digital receiver only resulted in non UK channels being tuned. However the following has given a resolution and I am back on UK channels again. First I put 12volts on the MagicSat 2002a green wire in an effort remove all the existing satellite details and then followed through the standard Scan Terieur method of modifying the criteria of the Astra 28 satellite. Second I used these settings in this order Criteria Frequency Pol Signal Mode 1. 10714 H Y Digital 2. 10788 V Y Digital 3. 12207 V Y Digital 4. 1261o V Y Digital The other thing I did on the MagicSat control box was to setup the 'Clock' from the Main Menu although I have never done that before and the Antenna used to lock onto Astra 28e and the Maxview MXL020 picked up the UK channels without issue. In addition I diverged from the standard procedure by changing the 'Signal' details for both the Astra19e two criteria to three dots this was in an effort to make the antenna not lock onto Astra 19e. Finally after much frustration I am back on to using the satellite Freesat again and many thanks to you Analoguesat for providing the frequency suggestions. Hopefully cortez1000 this will give you some help in sorting your problem. The Rvator [/QUOTE]
