[QUOTE="cheerychops, post: 889678, member: 402405"] [SIZE=4]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 [URL='http://files.manhattan-receivers.com/Plaza_XT_Series/Plaza_XT_User_Guide_English.pdf']Manhattan Plaza XT-CM[/URL] which seems to be an old model? I have [U]new [/U]cable, a newish (6 months) [URL='http://www.maplin.co.uk/p/single-satellite-lnb-a03ft']Maplin single LNB[/URL]. 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 :) [B]BUT [/B]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? [COLOR=#0000b3][B]Any advice welcome.[/B][/COLOR][/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
