[QUOTE="Robbo, post: 506909, member: 256551"] OK, No probs, I don't know the Sky box too well, but when you get the signal quality up on the screen, it is for the Default transponder. The satellites transmit the channels on a number of different frequencies (transponders), and just because you have good quality on one of them (the one your receiver defaults to) it does not mean that you have good quality on the one that carries the channels you want. if you go to lyngsat.com and select 28E satellites, you can scroll down and find the frequency/s for the channels you want. Then if you go back to your receiver, it is possible to check the signal quality on other transponders. (Don't ask me how to do it:-rofl2, I know you [B]can[/B] as I did it way back, but have not used my Skybox for a long time now) Robbo [/QUOTE]
