My System: Sky+, DB 7000s, Gemini 4.3 in flash, Var on USB stick. Transparent 80cm Dish, Moteck SG2100 DiseqC motor, lots of legacy gear. Meters: Satlook Digital NIT, Unaohm EP313, Swires Annie 204 Spectrum, Rover ST-4 Spectrum.

If you are receiving UK channels then you are on Astra 28.2 and the monobloc LNB will be way off from Hotbird, you need to point at Astra 19.2 and Hotbird for a 6 degree monobloc to work.

To find out which side of the LNB is port A, get someone to put their hand over each side in turn and watch for signal loss. If it is the Western most side of the LNB, then align it on Astra 19.2, if it is the Eastern most part, then align on Hotbird.

Once that's done, go into your satellite set up menu and set the non-focused satellite to port B and the channels should come up.
