[QUOTE="Lazarus, post: 642053, member: 323322"] Forget the preset Channels: It is invariably the case that they were listed some time ago and are not necessarily going to conform to their present Frequencies etc. I recommend you go into the Installation Menu and Navigate to Auto Search (Just below Antenna Setup). Also select the Free, as opposed to All, option and Scan. This will give you up to date lists and you can then delete all the pre-stored guff. However, if you find that there are a lot of non-UK Channels appearing, then you are probably on the wrong Satellite altogether (the usual wrong one is Astra1 at 19.2E) If the Channels are actually from the correct Satellite, but you still have signal problems, you may need to tweak the Dish a tiny bit. On the other hand, the problem might be as simple as the wrong LNB "Skew": If you look from the LNB towards the Dish, the LNB should be rotated to around ten past two (the F connector should be at twenty to eight, more or less). One step at a time ......... [/QUOTE]
