Hi I have been using my Lacuna MKIV to install 1.3 offset dishes in Southern Spain using the north south dataset.

But would like to use the Astra all transponders dataset to be more precise.

I have seen somewhere a forum post detailing the sequence of tps to use but I am damned if I can find it again. I think the start point is TP26 for sky news.

If someone has a list / procedure I would be most gratefull for a copy or a link to the post.

Thanks

Tp 26 sounds like a lot of button presses to me.

Tp 1 and 5 are HD (DVB-S2) so no lock on them.
Tp 2 and 6 are south beam so are easy to find.
Tp 3 and 4 are north beam (Tp 4 is 11778V, the default transponder).
Tp 50 is 2D. Probably the strongest 2D transponder (BBC1 CI).
