Technomate TM 4100D, No BBC channels, Help please

[gallardo92]

About a 6 months ago until now i have had problems with getting back the BBC channels on Astra 28 east.

It used to be fine and could get all BBC channel, Extreme sports and more, but now they've all been gone and since then i couldn't get it back.

I use the frequency of :

10773 H 22000

Help please since i need the BBC and sports channels and channels for the kids too.

Thanks and Merry Christmas

I assume you get everything else you should eg ITV etc and therefore the sat dish is pointed correctly etc.

First reboot the receiver to see if that cures the fault. Next try a different frequency such as 10788 v 22000 or any other at http://www.lyngsat.com/astra2d.html

Can you test individual frequency signal strengths on this receiver?

Well some of the frequencies do work. Even 10773 works but i don't get the channels, all i get is 3 random channels which are no good and i've tried many different frequencies and hardly any work.

I jut tried the 10788 V 22000 Signal nearly 90%
But when i search all i get is about 12 "Taquilla" channels?



Thanks Nick

P.S I've rebooted the receiver many times before but no help.

If you are getting the taquilla channels then your dish is pointing at 19E not 28E

Well when i search, thats the only place that gives signal

Any ideas what i should do?

Thanks

By the way i use DISEqC and i can't find anywhere else which can give signal for these frequencies.

You are definately on 19.2e. I would also say that the motor is setup incorrectly. Has it been setup by yourself? Has it worked in the past?
Try having the receiver motor the dish 9 degrees east then manually adjust the elevation til you get the signal. It will tide you over for now.

this is a good howto for motors: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VBErZGBb2Fo

Well I didn't set it up myself and yes it has been working. I mean i got all the Hotbird channels and they're all working fine. Just the Astra2 im having problems with.

Thanks

Hi,
If it is a motorised dish, you will have to send the dish to the satellites at 28E, and if you get a good signal, do a scan. If you can't, then you are not tracking the arc and the dish/motor needs setting up properly.

As a quick fix, you could send the dish to 28E, and then go outside and adjust the dish to get a signal on 28E. Then when you have time, go and set the whole system up properly.

Thanks for the info.
Well i can't go out today because of the weather. I'll try fixing it when rain stops.
