Hi everyone I am a new member so not used this site before.
I was getting Eurosport ( German FTA ) channel but now its gone digital, so i removed my grundig GRD200 22Khz receiver ( analogue) and connected a Sky HD+ receiver ( given to me for nothing and works fine with on my Freesat dish) to my old Sky analogue dish Astra 19.2 E which has a universal LNB, then tried to add channel using "add channels" by inputting Freq 12226, sym rate 27500, pol H, also requests fec so assumed 2/3, but when i confirmed "select" nothing happens.
So if I go into settings it says there is no signal present and yet dish 1 input is showing 60% signal, if i put back my Grundig receiver back it is still receiving a signal with all channels ( about 50 analogue) but with of coarse no picture but some channels displaying Germen changeover banner to digital.
Any ideas why i can't get the Sky box to work on my old Sky dish???
I would not have thought I would need to move my dish for the digital signals?? or do I?
Also I was considering buying a DVB-S receiver (on my pension money) but can you guys/gals guide me to a good basic digital box, was considering the Ross HD receiver as I see that there are a few HD german channels on FTA via Astra sats and probably more to come, or would i be better with the Philex 28207 RF ( SD)or something similar,
My Tv is a panasonic plasma HD ready with good results from my Humax Foxsat box in HD.
appreciate any help.
