[QUOTE="woborny, post: 652788, member: 285914"] Changing the default transponder does not help in getting channels. In SPain it is only used for "helping" the box boot up by getting certian information, that is normally on 11778, from another frequency. Once you have some channels forget about the default transponder. This can be prooved by the fact that if you go to sky news your sky box iwll look at 12207, the sky news frequency, totally overridering whatever frequency uyoou have manually input into your default transponder. (You can add Hallmark (150) or SciFi+1, some of the movies channels, and some of the UKTV+1 services - they are all on the "north beam") I would assume that its because input 1 is looking for the Sky Sports news Frequency - a north beam "tricky to get in spain" and cannot receive it. Input 2 will be looking at a channel you are recording or your last konwn channel. These north beams can even be troublesome on a 2.4m dish...they require a accurate LNB skew (rotation), and good alignment. - even then they may not be available all day. Half of the Sky HD channels are on these north beams, and half are on south beams, the latter being excellent to receive even on an 80cm dish! [/QUOTE]
