Well you can't pick up Channels from Astra 2 and Hotbird at the same time - You can only pick up Channels from the Satellite cluster you are aligned to.

Say you are aligned to Astra 2 but scan the Hotbird list: Because similar frequencies etc are re-used across the arc (which is possible because you can only get signals from one Satellite at a time), then you may well get some apparent results - but generally what you get is a decent Strength and Quality but no Video/Audio.

So, forget anything pre-stored apart from Astra 2.

Now scan that list (only) and see if you get any Channels with Video/Audio and post a list of a sample of them. If you feel like it, carry out an Auto Search (or whatever similar name Fortec Star use: Should be fairly obvious when you look at the menus)

Then we can tell you which Satellite the Dish is really aligned to and give you instructions for putting it right.

Those lists are just simple tables of data and your Box does not actually know where you have pointed your Dish!

Generally when people say their dish is pointing the same way as their neighbours, it actually isn't! I bet you are actually aligned to Astra 1 at 19.2E ('cos that's the commonest error).
