    Magicsat not locking on to Astra 28,2E

    Great! We used ours this summer again, and everywhere we went it locked on pretty quickly. We even managed to pick up a signal in northern France which was a first! We will fight to the death.......!!

I only have the choices of: Frequency - the 5 numbers as listed Polarity - either horizontal or vertical Signal - Yes, No or --- (which I...

    It's knackered again. I've just changed all the settings to the ones on the ST details, but it's spinning round fruitlessly........ Mind you, last time I had to do about 4 complete searches. How do you erase the memory? H

    Hi all Motorhome is back on the drive ready for this year's Lake District trip, and the delights of the tour! Can't believe it was a year ago that this was all going on. Ours still works, I tested it yesterday and it locked straight on without any hunting around, and I haven't changed any of...

    Hi Rvator I didn't do anything new. All I did was what you suggested above. I retuned all the frequencies to the ones you suggested, and put the Astra 19 details to dashes. It took 4 complete searches of finding nothing, but then all of a sudden it locked on and we were away! Had a great few...

    If I'm honest I haven't checked the cables, primarily because there are so many of them that I'm not entirely sure what all of them do. I might have to communicate with hubby, as he is a bit better at the cabling side of things. It's on a motorhome, and this last problem has only noticeably...

    I'm also having the same problem with our system. Having read this I'm going to try again this weekend, thanks to everyone for all their comments and suggestions. How else are we going to watch the Tour de France in the heart of the deepest darkest Lake District! I can't believe that the other...
