My System: Sky; Raven 90 with LNBs for 1W, 7E, 13E 16E and 19E; Technomate 1500 and Kathrein Analogue Receivers

Can I suggest a little trick?

Assuming that the sat you have is Astra 2 (i.e. the one with UK TV), then do the following:

1. Leave the dish on Astra 2
2. Turn off receiver and unplug
3. At the back of receiver only, remove the LNB cable
4. Plug and turn back receiver on (i.e.) without LNB cable but still connected to TV
5. Select USALS and enter/make sure your coordinates are rightly entered
6. Use remote to ask receiver to go to Astra 2 (to make sure the receiver does go to Astra 2, you may first send it to another satellite and then send it to Astra 2).
7. Turn off receiver and unplug
8. Reconnect LNB cable to receiver
9. Turn on receiver
10. Watch Astra 2
11. Try sending receiver to other satellites
12. Fine tune dish alignment at some point (if necessary).
