:-bash

I have bought a Fortecstar Platinum Receiver. When I scan for channles, it picksup some channels and ignoring many others like ITV2, ITV3, ITV4, etc.

Is there a file with all channel data that I can download to my receiver ?

I need Channel Data File for Astra1, Astra2, Hotbird & Hispasat.

Thank you for your help.

Does that receiver not have blind search? If not, just add the extra transponders, there probably aren't many missing. :)

Hello Rolf,

thank you for your reply.

It has blind search but I believe the tuner is weak. No problem with Dish & LNB. Have tried with another receiver; that works well.

Some of the channels say "No signal".

I have even tried Factory Reset and still no luck.

The problem should be with your LNB or DisEqC switch. Better check them.

Been there,Problem could be from the channels on the inclined orbit Hotbirds, try tilting your dish up 1-2 degrees (Inclination not elevation):-doh!
