Whilst it is debateable whether Buddhism can be categorised under religion, I refer you to the second image.

I'm Andalusian too and I agree with Adam792.
Old people in Andalusia love Canal Sur, the regional channel, the international version on Astra 19.2° East is named CANAL SUR A.
There are many FTA German channels on Astra 19.2° East, you can do a manual search on TP:
- Frequency: 11156 MHz
- Polarity: Vertical
- SR: 22000 kS/s

Or you can do a complete search on Astra 19.2° East with NIT (or Network) option activated, and search the channel in the list.

And there are many FTA Italian channels on Eutelsat Hot Bird 13° East. You told you get many German and Italian channels, have you configured DiSEqC?
Manual search on TP 12303 V 27500 Hot Bird 13° East to get TVE Internacional and
24H, national channels of her interest, I think.

Yes, I’ve heard this said by a friend of mine who is also from Andalusia - those over a certain age can’t get enough of Canal Sur

Canal Sur Andalucia has an excellent match making show for over-60
and "se llama copla" with nice....coplas
and lots of info on social life,this makes it very interesting
and perfact to practise Spanish before visiting...Andalucia
rather than getting bored in all-inclusive holidays in "resort" hotels!

First of all - thanks for all the replies. Appreciate it. To be honest, some of it is rather technical; but much of it useful.

The Andalusian channel is indeed: Canal Sur A.
And so we'll be looking to get the free channels on - Astra 19.2° East (and it looks to me like it is posting in the right direction).

As per my original post, I can find lots of German, French etc. but no Spanish.

I can see that it is possible to manually look up channels. Seems that I can choose Transponder settings (there are 100+) - a selection in the photo below. And I can also choose some LBN Frequencies; and depending on my choice of LBN, I can also choose DiSEqc1.0; ...1.1, 22K, LNB Power and Motor (but the dish is static, so irrelevant). Based on this - could someone advise what I should put into these settings (in posts above, a number of manual settings have been suggested, but they don't appear to correspond to the settings that I can actually input).

Many thanks.

Forget all that.

Factory reset the receiver, then search for Astra 1, no other settings with the exception of a network search.

If you can't get Spanish TV after this then you should buy another receiver.

@krys-k1

The most recent comments might not possibly be clear to you, but:

Firstly, do a Factory Reset as recommended by @Channel Hopper - that will delete all the existing identified channels.

Then, and it might also not be clear to you, what @Lazarus is trying to say is that the factory default "LNB Freq" (= the internal oscillator frequency in the LNB for converting the sat download frequencies at 11-12 GHz to the around 2-3.4 GHz frequencies that are sent down the cable to the receiver) of 5150 MHz/5.150GHz is incorrect. Thus go to that menu, click on that menu line, and then scroll (probably to the Right) until you get to the "9750/10600" option (which is the correct one for Ku-band transponders) and select and save that.

(PS: this is unfortunately a common "default" setting for many receivers intended for regions where use of the Sat "C-Band" satellite channels is common.)

Then rescan 19E and you should hopefully find the desired Spanish Channels

Thank you all for your help.

As an update - having followed all the advise here (aligned dish with the help of compass, programmed receiver) I still couldn't find the Spanish channels. I ended up calling out a satellite dish technician who undertook a number of tests and diagnosed a faulty LNB. So likely the very last thing that could be an issue and one that I didn't have the equipment nor knowledge to determine.

9 / 10 I'm able to fix things myself without the need of an expert, this was the 10%. But overall I do end up saving time and money on the remaining 90%. And as an added bonus, I picked up a little bit of knowledge on satellite dishes, alignment, receivers and channels. Again, thanks.

Good to hear you're all sorted and thanks for letting us know.
