[QUOTE="I_Just_want_to_know, post: 602627, member: 320516"] [U]SonnetPete..[/U] I just scanned telstar 15W got nothing, I then scanned hotbird at 13E and got some more channels, about 2 in italian, and a bunch in french, there was a load of MTV in there as well, but they were scrambled.. I would think that if I could pick up other satellites, that they would be ones very close to the 28.2 I had picked up on, but everyhting close by got me nothing...
