[QUOTE="SatSap, post: 864444, member: 401658"] Hello Thanks again. The TV is a Samsung UE46F8000. I unscrewed first cable from the back of the tv and the tv doesn't find anything without the first f plug connected and the second plug connected (second freesat is called sat sub, first is sat main.) So I then connected the first plug again and disconnected the second and set the scan parameter to single instead of dual and scanned again. No joy. I then disconnected the cable and connected the other side of the shotgun cable to sat main and rescanned but still same problem. I then reconnected both cables and rescanned and still same problem. You cannot change the Satellite when scanning for freesat...the satellite list is greyed out. However, the transponders list is under LNB settings - I found after hunting high and low (not in e-manual) - and you can select satellite and transponder under the LNB settings after scanning. When I select Eutelsat 28.5 (there's Eutelsat 28.5 and Astra 28.2 in the drop down list) for the satellite and then choose either of the 11307 transponders the signal bar drops to 0%. When I choose the original transponder it goes back up to 80%ish. There is a custom transponder field and I added a user setting first for 11306 & then 11308 and selected them but 0% signal when selected. Sorry if this is gobbledeegook. All this is completely new to me. [/QUOTE]
