Limited symbol rate - need 29000

Hi

I'm a bit new to all this and am after some advice. I have a Sky Digibox - an Amstrad DRX400 to be precise - and I would like to pick up some Bulgarian channels (i.e. Planeta).

Apparently I need to set the symbol rate to 29000 to tune into Bulsatcom - but I can only choose from 22000 or 27500 on my Amstrad. Is there any way to set it to 29000?

Cheers

Ross

Sorry but on a Sky digibox 22000 and 27500 are the only symbol rates you can select.

Take it back to the supplier if you are not using it for BSKYB as it really will spoil your entertainment value

(Almost) any receiver apart from those designed for the Sky channels will work, and they start at less than 100 GBP. Some even have a loopthrough system, allowing you to piggyback the Amstrad onto the signal

There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness"
