Hi Nigel, Thank you for the update. I would be interested to hear what the change to criteria 1 is. I will try "waggling" the LNB arm when it next doesn't work. One final idea is a dual LNB holder. Most will not do what we want as they are for Astra 19 and 23 BUT there is one that is adjustable...

Hi Mike, On the "green wire", as I understand it, this should be connected to the positive side of the ignition switch so that when you turn on the engine, the sat system displays "motorhome moving" and folds down the dish and turns off. This also apparently clears the memory or previous...

Hi Nigel, I hope you get it sorted out easily. I will be interested to hear what they find wrong. The last time we moved the boat, mine locked on so we are OK at the moment although I got so fed up while we were on the move, I bought a portable Aldi system for £50 so that we could watch TV while...

It's strange that your setup is having the same problem as mine!! I set all mine to signal Y You can tell if it is Astra 19 but looking at the TV channel it gies you on the 2002A feed. If it's German, its Astra 19! I use 402 as my digital channel. I would try the Scan Terieur settings before...

I used the the same positive that went to the battery. As I found that I needed it regularly, I put a switch in it. They should be no need for a separate supply. If you don't have this wire connected, and your problem sounds like the one that I had earlier, I would definitely try this first. I...

It may be that you dish memory is full. The erase dish positions does not work and you can only erase the previous satellite positions by having the green wire receive 12V POSITIVE. In a motorhome, this will normally be wired to the ignition so that if you start with the dish up, you will get...

For anyone having difficulties, this worked well for me in the UK to view Freesat: 1 12207 V Y Digital 2 10729 v Y Digital 3 11426 V Y Digital 4 11307 H Y Digital The theory was that I wanted Freesat channels on several satellites so researched the channel frequencies of channels...

I am not getting good signal strength on Freesat on those frequencies and the sat does not always lock on. My set is on a boat and I can get better signal strength by rotating the boat anticlockwise. Can anyone confirm my thoughts on how this works: Of the frequencies given by PGB, I believe ...

The latest idea is to set Criteria 4 to --- This is to avoid it looking for that criteria to determine if it is looking at Astra 28. After 2 hours of fiddling and it not working, it eventually did but I am not prepared to try it again just yet as I needed a stiff drink afterwards! It was...

Thank you for the offer of help. The problem is definitely with the Magicsat 2002A not recognising that it is seeing Astra 28E. I have proved that by setting up an old small magnetic dish next to the Mobile dish and aligned that with Astra 28. Then mobilised the magicsat. When it got to looking...

There is an option on the main menu. Under Clock events is Sat Finder (SAT position erase) If you choose this option, it says erasing positions (briefly) then returns to the menu. I was also told to turn the system off by use of the green wire which is also supposed to wipe previous positions...

I am in touch with support at Scan-Terieur who have been helpful, but without success so far. I have been given 2 options for Criteria 4. One is: 11426 V YES Digital Two is: 12188 H YES Digital Neither have worked for me but I will post any updates that I receive from them. After...

I have found how to gain access to the satellite setup data. For anyone who follows this, On Protected or Locked Menu, key in 8888 and a new menu will appear that allows you to see the satellite general positioning information and the LNB Criteria. It apparently changed a couple of years ago but...

My dish has stopped locking on to Astra 28,2E but will lock on to other satellites. My settings are: Freq Polar Signal Mode 1 12129 V YES digital 2 10729 V NO analog 3 11322 V NO analog 4 12188 H YES digital 5 V analog...

A factory reset would probably be a good idea but there is nothing about it in the manual so I don't know how to do it I am afraid. If I could get into the satellite location data, I might be able to fix it but there is nothing about that in the manual either. It is perfect with Astra 19,2E but...
