[QUOTE="Huevos, post: 1054466, member: 301161"] The above is slightly confusing. The transponder that carries the data is H polarised. There is a V polarised transponder on the same frequency but it is nothing to do with the Freesat transponder. Also, a copy of the Freesat-EPG and Freesat-BAT is carried on all transponders on 28 east but a Freesat box only reads from these once it is already set up using the Freesat home transponder. So a chicken and egg problem exists. So for people that cannot receive the Freesat home transponder and still want the Freesat LCN and EPG it is possible to use an Enigma2 receiver running ABM and a modified provider file that reads from any strong transponder. EPG data from the other transponders is identical to the home transponder but much lower bit rate. So it takes about 15 minutes for the EPG to populate fully with 7 day's worth of data. [/QUOTE]
