[QUOTE="RaiUn0, post: 27456, member: 176393"] Hello all This is my first DIY entrance to satellite world so please excuse any ambiguity in my wordings. I have bought a Comag receiver from Lidl (£69.??) yesterday (found few laying near the vegetables) and have tried the following: 1. Connected the receiver to my sky minidish and I was able to view some of the shopping channels. 2. Connected the receiver to my old dish pointing at 19.2 deg east and when I did an auto FTA channel search it pulled loads of Spanish and German channels with mostly 100% signal strength. However, I was only able to view VERY few channels. Andalucia, ARTE, CNN and few others. My question is, what do I need now to view other free channels such as RTL SAT1 etc.? They show 100% signal strength but I get a "No Video or Audio" message on the screen. What card/cam do I need to view some of the scrambled channels? On the front panel of the receiver it says DiSEqC 1.2 but on the installation menu it displays DiSEqC 1.1. I am thinking of getting a motorised dish in the near future, can this receiver handle the motor? The user manual is VERY brief but I found the menu system quite easy to follow. I'd be very greateful if someone can answer my questions. Thanks in Advance Rai [/QUOTE]
