Does anybody have experience with the Goodmans GFSAT100SD receiver? The problem I have is that on installing this receiver here in Cyprus on a 3m dish( which receives 2D very good) is I get the message that the signal is less than 50% and I should check the alignment of the dish(cheeky box !). I cannot get rid of this message and cannot access the menu.In fact I have pressed all buttons on the remote and apart from on/off nothing happens. I have connected a normal digibox and the signals are fine.Someone mentioned that it might be looking for a certain frequency from Eurobird(11.482H) which I cannot recxeive here. There must be a way of over riding a default frequency like the digibox does ? Any ideas ?

My System: Sky; Raven 90 with LNBs for 1W, 7E, 13E 16E and 19E; Technomate 1500 and Kathrein Analogue Receivers | I don't have one but I think the freesat EPG (and possibly other data stream) come/s from Eurobird 1; so perhaps the box is looking for EB 'good alignment' rather than 2D 'good alignment'. | ||
