[QUOTE="Robbo, post: 405622, member: 256551"] I have a Technomate 1000D and to set up for a new satellite is very easy. It is just a matter of going into the installation menu, selecting the Satellite you want and pressing scan. In order to do a scan though, you first have to be aligned to the correct sat. If you don't have a sat meter the only way to do it is to use the quality indicator on the receiver (assuming it has one, it may have a beeper). The receiver should already have programmed into it a default transponder for each sat (plus all the others). So to relign you dish to 28.2E (Astra 2) you will need to select that sat in the install menu and then very slowly adjust the dish position for maximum quality reading on the receiver. ( i.e put the bl**dy thing back where it was if you don't want to die;)) Obviously I can't tell you exactly how to do it on your receiver as I don't know what it is, but the principle is the same for whatever receiver (apart from $ky boxes of course). Good Luck! Oh the only settings you should need to put in are Satellite-Astra2/Eurobird. Sat degree 28.2E ( should default to this for Astra2) LNB on (if you have a choice) LNB type (universal) if there is a choice LNB Freq (leave at default, should be 9.750/10.600) 22kHz - auto DiSEqC 1.0- OFF DiSEqC 1.1- OFF The search mode you want is Satellite. The polarisation should be set to auto or both. The transponder freqs should be preset within the receiver so you shouldn't have to enter them manually. ( If you do, this is possible, but incredible tedious, I know I have done it with a $ky box using Lyngsat.com) If you get stuck, post back. [/QUOTE]
