[QUOTE="lockettpots, post: 497246, member: 280775"] Hi All Since my requirements are low (at the moment anyway) I've bought a cheap kit from B&Q it consists of a 60cm zone 2 dish and a skyline DSR4000 receiver. I have installed the dish connected up the receiver and managed to get a (low quality) signal from the Astra 2A sat. I did this because the receiver is set up for FTA from there and I wanted to test things. I haven't bothered tweaking the dish alignment because I really want the setup for Italian language broadcasts from Hotbird 6/7a/8 at 13E. I can see how to select a different satellite from a list on the receiver but Hotbird 6/7a/8 isn't on the list. At 13E it only shows Hotbird 1,2 as an option. It looks as though I can change the name of the satellite but is there anything else I need to change or do before I move the satellite dish to find Hotbird 6/7a/8? I'm a complete newbie at this and I don't understand what any of the details on the satellite info page on the receiver mean :confused:, so words of one syllable would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance John [/QUOTE]
