That's a new LNB fitted - same brand, different model - and all channels including Bloomberg and Daystar are fine. Once again, thanks to you all for the help I've had. I remember when I was first getting a dish, I thought about a motorised one in order to watch all the (hopefully) wonderful...

Thanks, ozumo. I take it you're not concerned that the above Inverto will have the same problems that the Black Ultras gave us?

Yes, ozumo, Bloomberg's at the end of the non-Freesat mode list. It won't play as my LNB is back in it's proper position but I won't move it again - I remember seeing Strength 100% and Quality 60% when doing that weird scan. When I was testing this transponder with the LNB in normal position...

You know your stuff, ozumo. I did that odd sounding plan of yours and my box did indeed find Bloomberg (and 2 others). Although I saved the search result, I couldn't find a way to actually watch the channel. Don't suppose that matters, though. I may get another LNB or I may not (Bloomberg's not...

The saga continues... While idly channel surfing, I noticed a blocky channel that I must have missed previously - Son Life. It's a religion channel and not listed on FlySat for some reason. Out I went and did some tiny adjustments until Son Life was OK (didn't take long). Then called up...

So you only watch 'live' or 'catchup' then? I much prefer to record programmes, especially those with interminable ad breaks. You can't beat the 'skip forward 2m' button...

Evening guys and, as ever, thanks for your interest. The 'quadrant' test was successful. My receiver is already close to the dish as there's literally just a wall between them so I have a short cable run. As previously mentioned, I've replaced my minidish with a Triax dish/Inverto LNB. If...

Just a thought (and I hope I can make myself clear here): I said above that, with all bar 2 channels well tuned in, I went left/right up/down and got no sign of Bloomberg/Daystar. All that happened was the gradual disappearance of the existing channels. But isn't Astra a group of satellites...

Thanks for the '4G' tip, ozumo. Yes, I know about the non-Freesat mode but rarely use it as the EPG is more important to me. Only time I do use it is if I want to record something without encryption.

Thanks for checking. 170 and 172 - are those channel numbers? My receiver groups similar channels together so that all the 'news' ones are in the 200's and religion in the 600's.

Think I'll have to call time on this for now. Going up/down, left/right, I can see my existing channels coming and going but never a whiff of Bloomberg or Daystar, not even a flicker of a picture or a signal strength bar. Which suggests to me it must be something other than a positional issue...

No, I'm pretty much out in the open. Once the weather clears I'll do some more adjustments.

Ah, sussed it. using Vertical, 23000, FEC 2/3, DVB-S2, 8PSK with 11686, 11681 and 11691 gives me No Channels Found each time. So Frequency 11686, polarisation Vertical, symbol rate 23000, FEC 2/3, DVB-S2, 8PSK is the specific location of Bloomberg is it? Where do you find out that kind of...

No, ozumo, all as before, just replaced the dish/LNB.

Figured it... 11691V using Symbol rate 27500 'No channels found'.
