Dish pointed to Astra 28.2E with Quatro LNB feeding EMP Centauri MS5/12PIU-5 multiswitch. Tuner in question LG 50UH635V. Presently tuned to Astra 28.2E with LNB 9750/10750 and Transponder 11023/H/23000

I have my dish set up for Sky/Freesat on Astra 28.2E but my tuner is set for my preferred channels with LNB on 9750/10750 and Transponder 11023/H/23000.

Recently France 24 News (UK) has disappeared and Bloomberg channel has no signal.

I read that these channels have been moved and I want to get them back. I am in UK and only watch UK TV but also Al Jazheera, and CNN plus the now missing channels.

Please could somebody advise me how I should now tune my receiver so I can get these channels back. I would prefer not to re-point the dish because it is a big ladder job but would appreciate all advice please.

Hi Mickha,
Many thanks for your prompt reply. I put the details of the receiver in my registration. I am using in my LG TV (LG 50UH635V) for this. I only have limited scope for tuning and even less knowledge of satellite tuning but from what I have learned I have been using the sky satellite channel but tuning the stations myself.

Do I need to select another channel and if so what and how please? I do not wish to lose all the other channels I watch including euronews but I do not need sky news. All and any help would be appreciated.

Try doing a satellite auto tune, and check the signal quality readings. Please post back, with the results:

Then you should be able to see Bloomberg too!
If you make a new channel search on this frequency you will get it.
Bloomberg hasn't been there that long so a new search is necessary to find it.

Hi and thanks for the reply. I missed the notification but am logged in now. I can do an auto re tune but which satellite should I select? I am spoiled for choice here. I presently have Astra 28.2E Which should I chose?
BTW I cannot see Astra 2G mentioned above anywhere. Is that because of my location or my LG firmware? I can run and see what signal I am getting but what satellite should I chose?

Astra 28.2E is correct, that position includes Astra 2E, 2F and 2G.

I understand but why is it not showing this choice on my screen? Am running it now with Astra 28.2E and will see!
I think the problem is that even with the one satellite selected there are tuning choices for the LNB and transponder and I have no idea which to select. If I do nothing the LG tuner seems to stay with the setting I have.

What are the available options? Transponder should be set to those shown in post #2. There should be an option to scan all transponders but if you can't search for unencrypted/FTA channels only it will also find hundreds of channels you can't view.

Well Mickha,
Whatever, the tuning seems to have done the trick so many thanks. I have no idea what was going on under the hood but many thanks once more.
