Apologies if this is in the wrong forum, new to the forums.
Recently bought the Maplins satellite kit that has a fortec star, 65cm Dish and single Lnb.
Only interested in the basic freesat channels, as we struggled to get freeview through any medium, shape or size of aerial!
Having used a needle meter/beeper to get as high pitched as possible, i scanned the astra 2a/b/d option, and was inundated with polish etc channels. However, the frequences for the freesat channels such as 10773, failed, and looking further the signal quality for them was about 5%, but i couldn't get the needle meter any higher in reading.
Living in North West London i wouldn't assume reception to be an issue for Astra 2D having read it is centered on the UK.
Anyone have any ideas why i can't get those few 2D frequences i am after?
Thanks
Ben
