[QUOTE="ghinzani, post: 592285, member: 316708"] Ok now I am really confused. I thought I would check the satellites still recieving before I borrow my mates sat finder at the weekend, so I plugged in one of those vanilla digi box's Lidl were doing a few years back. Anyway first of it was saying Astra 28 east, so I did a chanel search and its got 1041 channels, mostly scrambled but... then I looked at the antennae option and it said Astra east 19 - so I switch it to that and it picks up over 1200 channels, and not in the same order as the earlier 1041 or indeed the same channels. Now its doing a search of Hotbird that looks different again. Whats this all about? I thought you could only be pointed at one satellite at a time? I guess I will have to wait for the weekend when I can borrow a satellite finder to ascertain where I am pointing at? Any explanations of the above woul be welcome though - am I living under a false assumption about directions and satellites? [/QUOTE]
