Hello Doggy

Probably E19.2 old Analogue $ky dish.

What receiver/s do you have?

just bought the xtreme from satelittesuperstore.com its tuned to astra hotbird a 1 west i think. this is my first digital reciever and ive not yet got my big dish up yet, i had only connected up to the existing dish to see how things ran. i was getting itv news and lots of shopping channels, but now i cant get them it says bad or no signal. do you think the dish is to small or am i missing something?

Hello Doggy

If you were getting ITV News and Shopping Chanels from this dish, then it is almost certainly pointing at E28.

This is the current $ky Digital position.

If you check the parameters here :

and here:

You should find the FTA programmes you can expect to receive.

With a bit of luck you should also get the BBC Channels in the next ccouple of months.

There is no Astra/Hotbird Satellite at 1W, they are at E19.2 and E13.

Hope this is of help, but if not do come back again, and we will try to give you further assistance.

Kind regards

If your getting ITV news and lots of shopping channels it sounds like its pointing at 28east ( Sky)
