I am not sure the Comaq will allow the viewing of scrambled channels, you will have to confirm it has a slot for a PCMCIA module.
It sounds like you may have the auto search facility set up, but without any form of network search (where the receiver takes information from the satellite, rather than from an old database within the receiver). This could be why only a few longterm frequencies show up
Or it may be the dish is not perfectly aligned to the satellite (or the dish is just too small)
PS- the furniture section would be more comfortable next time you take a quick 40 winks. |
