[QUOTE="Rvator, post: 947068, member: 402382"] Good feedback Colin When we took over our system it also came with a really old sky box digital receiver and like yours took forever to find stations so we ditched it for a Maxview MXL020 which gives us all the free to air stations we want. Just an observation to lock onto the Astra 28E satellite on our MagicSat 2002a control box the channel we select if my memory is correct is 402 (although might be 452, but definitely 4 something 2). Other satellites such as Hotbird, Eutelsat etc are potentially associated with 455 and 460 as you mention and if you wanted to lock onto those you need as you say to refer to a web site such as fly sat.com and amend the criteria appropriately as they probably haven't ever been updated. Anyway it's really good you are up and running and if there are others out there with similar issues they will be encouraged to carry on with the MagicSat system as after all it's not cheap to buy a new setup.
