[QUOTE="PopDorset, post: 351508, member: 250206"] Hi, I have FreeSat from Sky. Bought Nov 06, works fine...don't wish to change it...yet! I set my mum up with the same gear/deal at the same time, but she is elderly and cannot fathom out the menus, so I now have her gear. I decided to use this to try to get French tv here at my house as a totally separate system from my own. I have tried to research it as much as I can (which satellite- AB3, my own lat/long, azimuth/ele, checked lnb details, bought sat finder meter, etc., anything I forgot?) Here are the settings I put in to the installer's menu on the Thomson-made Skybox... 11.591 GHz, V, 2/3, but the box does not accept 20,000 baud rate...there's only a choice of 22 or 27.5. It just toggles between the two. I've adjusted the dish to give a loud signal on the meter, but the Skybox says there's no signal. Is this the end of the road or can anybody help me with anything else I can tweak?!!! :) [/QUOTE]
