Has someone nicked all the german channels?

[tankie88]

i used to live in germany and i bought a sat system to watch all the german channels.The end of summer last year they all disapeared.I've just been trying to get them all again.All i can get is Italian channels.Has something happened up in the sky i don't know about????.Astra 19.2E of course.

Your dish is now pointing at Hotbird 13E!

Absolutely!

To clarify, there aren't many Italian Channels on 19.2E, but there are loads on 13E.

Conversely, whilst there are a few German Channels on 13E, the bulk (as you know) are on 19.2E.

One simple check (of many!) is if you get Rai 1 ,2 and 3 you are on 13E, but if you only get Rai 1 you are on 19.2E.

Or you can just compare what you get with freely available listings at Flysat, Lyngsat or KingofSat.

The bottom line is your Dish has gone AWOL and you need to shove it about 6 degrees back towards the East and down a tiny bit.

Ermm, they are Spanish Channels


BUT ............ the good news is that you are on the right Satellite.

What Receiver is it? Does it have an Auto (or Blind) Search (or Scan) option?

Ah, your Profile says Protek 7000 - I'm none the wiser!

 

[tankie88]

All i know is i can scan the TP's and sats.Other channels i get are Direct8,CCTV F,CCTV9,Canal Alge,TV5 Monde,France24.Seems to be a mix of french/spanish with a few english news channels.

Sounds like your already on 19e as said but the channels you have mentioned above appear on both 13e and 19e apart from CCTV F which is on Astra19e. Many european channels are duplicated on both Astra & Hotbird.

Well,this week the 12.188h frequency has become weaker over here .Can't get it on a 1.25m offset now.
