[updated:LAST EDITED ON 15-Mar-02 AT 09:18 PM (GMT)]What you need to do is set the receiver to an Astra 19.2 channel, make sure it's something that is still operative. You can check that on http://www.lyngsat.com , once you have it set on a viable channel that isn't encrypted, try scanning very slowly for the satellite, it will take a couple of seconds for the meter on the receiver to respond. If you can borrow an old analogue receiver, it will make the job much much easier.

Also check that the LNB is a universal, as most of the digital channels are in the upper band frequencies.
