Blog Entries: 1 My System: Sky UK. FTA analogue & digital satellite from 6 fixed dishes (5E/7E/9E/10E/13E/16E/ 19E/23E/28E) Pace MSS100, Echostar IP3000VA, Technomate TM-1000D, Dreambox 7020S  The last noble sat warrior to fly the olden flag of Analogue | FreeView is completely different to Freesat - there are several channel differences. You are looking for free to air channels - an important difference. Chances are you have aligned onto one of the nearby satellites. | ||

| Try twisting the LNB on the dish by 45 degrees so the small marks are near the top of the feedhorn clamps. | ||
| There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness" | |||

My System: TM6800HD, TM1000, TM600 Linux,TM5200, TM2200 motor, Triax TD110 dish + Fortec 85cm. Meter=Satlook Micro+G2 NIT | Yes, that is correct, you want Astra2/Eurobird1 28.2E/28.5E. you are probably on the wrong sat, as AS suggests. Try picking some of the adjacent. nearby sats, and flicking through their transponders, and seeing if you can get a reasonable signal quality as well. If you do, do a scan, see what channles you get. | ||

Meter=Satlook Micro+G2 NIT | The point is.... if you have good strength, but no/bad quality, it means that the transponder you are looking at, does not exist on that satellite.So, if it is valid transponer, the dish is probaly looking at the wrong sat. | ||
