My System: Fortec Star Passion+
Angry Fortec Star set up

I have no luck trying to receive Freesat channels from the kit system bought from Maplins. Even with 70% signal and over 50%Q on the antenna set up bars and shreiking signal on the sig strength meter All hd and bbc and ITV channels indicate no signal.
I am receiving abstract channels such as aljafeera or whatever,
Any suggestions as to my problems please. I have spent literally hours moving the dish.
The receiver is a Fortec Star Passion+ .The LNB isthe universal FSKUVN
Thanks for looking, Dave

My System: Pace Sky HD, DM7000s, CubeRevo 3000HDPVR, Transparent 80cm Dish, Moteck SG2100 DiseqC motor, lots of legacy gear. Meters: Satlook Digital NIT, Televes H45 Digital Spectrum analyser.

Moved this from the TV Cabo section.

Search the forum using the model of LNB and you may come up with the answer.

My System: TM6800HD, TM1000, TM600 Linux,TM5200, TM2200 motor, Triax TD110 dish + Fortec 85cm. Meter=Satlook Micro+G2 NIT

Could also be the wrong satellite.

Al Jazeera is a very common channel name:

so doesn't help much. What other channels do you get?
