Hi
I am new to this forum and am looking for some guidance.
I want to watch German Channels. I can see that these channels are mostly on AstraN, KR and a few on M. I have a Manhattan Plaza XT-CM which seems to be an old model?
I have new cable, a newish (6 months) Maplin single LNB. I aligned the dish as much as I can using a simple meter – it was put up 15 years ago and is rusted into position
BUT I can only see AstraH-M on the list of available satellites. On this I can pick up (blind search) a considerable number of channels. Some (labelled as free) appear as blank screens ‘no audio or scrambled’, some are fine with a good quality picture and sound.
Not all the German AstraM channels seem to be there. AstraH is defunct I believe. I have tried to do a Sat linked software upgrade but ‘signal strength was too poor’. The signal light on the front panel is orange and the channels are at ‘Signal strength’ 50-70% and Quality 80+%.
How do I get to see AstraKR and AstraN?
Do I need a better digital receiver?
Any advice welcome.
