My System: 43cm Dish, Sky Plus v2, Thomson DSI4214, FRACARRO PENTA 85cm, Invacom Twin, Moteck SG2100a H-H DiSEqC Motor, TF5000CI, TM-5200D, Sling Media, Rover Discovery ST-4, Rover SDM-1s, 57E to 58W, Tecatel 1.35m fixed on 28e, Pace D5430-N

A major factor depends on what region in Spain you are located in.

The default Tp only applies to Sl<y receivers in order to get the full EPG to function.

You should be able to pick up South beam with a 50cm dish, see South beam footprint: _http://www.lyngsat-maps.com/maps/astra2a_south.html

If your going to use a Sl<y receiver, when you first power on, you'll know if your able to pull in North beam as the EPG will function or not. Dish size depends on your region. As said above, the box tries to look at 11.778 North beam. If it can't see the transponder, the box does nothing and says 'no sat signal being received'

See North beam footprint: _http://www.lyngsat-maps.com/maps/astra2a_north.html

Full instructions to change default transponder if required:



To change the default transponder setting, you will first need to

access the hidden INSTALLERS SETUP menu

First press the SERVICES button on your Sky remote

then '4' to access SYSTEM SETUP

Although it is not displayed, you will need to press '0' then '1' then SELECT

to access the INSTALLERS SETUP menu

then select '2' to enter DEFAULT TRANSPONDER

Select 'Frequency (GHz)'. By typing in the relevant numbers,

change the settings from 11.778 to 12.129

When the changes have been made, select 'Save New Settings'

Press BACK UP to return to main screen

On the screen you will then see the Sky Welcome Channel or it will say

'searching for listings' please wait

Wait until Sky Welcome Channel appears and then start viewing

Upon return to Northern Europe, the system will automatically default back to the North beam default transponder frequency.
