[QUOTE="closetosoton, post: 754061, member: 184281"] I think I'm going mental. I spent 3 hours atop the ladder last night. Got me self a new telly, freesat and all. Simple job, re-align old 5W 60cm dish for analogue french stuff, not used as often as it should be to 28.2E, sounds easy? It probably is... Aside it I've got another 60cm dual head, pointing at 13E and a second LNB on the side does 19E so I know which way things are facing. Check new universal LNB by scan of current 5W dish - check finds TPs etc. Turn dish, find 13E, 19E and tune some things there, so only a few degrees and should be 28.2E. But can I find it, can I tosh! I suspect its the receiver, a cheap fortecstar lifetime classic, despite having database entry for Astra 2ABD not much matches up with what's on now. I manually added 10 TPs all 'clear' Freesat stuff, BBC, CH4, ITV etc. Whilst moving the dish it never locks on to any. (symbol rate set correct too) I've checked stuff tuned on 19E is correct, i.e TP freq matches kingofsat. I've borrowing an old sky box tomorrow, so should be able to get to the bottom of it - there's no trees, or buildings. Just seems weird, is my finger pointing at the receiver correct? What I haven't tried is just plugging it in the TV and trying to tune it that way, but the TV's going back, that's a whole other story! Cheers CTS... [/QUOTE]
