Thanks, it had got up to +7 here in Milton Keynes

Hi all, it is now fixed. Lots of tweaking dish azimuth, elevation, LNB skew etc. did absolutely nothing. Went to Maplin and bought a new LNB. Installed it and it worked first time. (New LNB is Nikkai twin, side benefit is I can now play with two receivers...) Thanks to all for suggestions...

Thanks I will just post on DS for now....

Hi all, latest update: changed Foxsat box for a new one at Argos. Result: still the same as it was before, no signal at 12523 or above. So it must be my dish/LNB (though Metronic works perfectly...) Regards, Neil

Hi all, pedro2000uk: the two frequencies under universal in the menu are 9750 10600 then some others... On scanning Astra 2 (It does A/B/C/D) for FTA TV only, it got up to 12480V (Brit Asia TV), which is the highest TP freq of them all. The spec only talks about the IF (950 to2150MHz) of...

Hi all, yes just did a full scan on Eurobird 1 on the Humax. It found 284 channels, but nothing above 11681. Just off to scan 2A... Regards, Neil

Hi again, yes good point about the Faraday cage, though I have no faceplates etc. anywhere, just a cable I fitted from the LNB to my living room, where I screw it either into the Humax or the Metronic. My Humax Foxsat also seems to be deaf at the top end.... what does it say in the spec - maybe...

Hi all, strange I posted this then it disappeared? Anyway, all parameters are as per Lyngsat on the Metronic, the Humax is auto scan and I can't set parameters on manual scan as quality is zero... Turned of DECT phone base station - no effect. (That would have affected Metronic too - wouldn't...

Hi all, Replaced my old Metronic SD FTA box (Maplin) with a new Humax Foxsat HD box, to get HD. The Humax does not see Zone Reality on 12523 V 27500, whereas the Metronic box shows it fine. No change to dish (80cm) or LNB (Universal), I just plug the cable into either the Humax box or the...

Hi all, for my new (from Maplin) Metronic TouchBox 3. I wanted an easy way to load up various TP and channels that I want. This is not obvious from the manual included. It is pre-programmed with a lot of sats I can't see/dont want. So, I connected a laptop to the serial port with a null modem...
