Hi,

I have a Fortec star beta receiver and 2 satelittle dishes connected to it. The 1st dish is connected to Astra 1 and works fine. The second dish has been pointed to try and pick up Astra 2D. The only option the fortec system gives me if for Astra 2A, and it can pick up channels on there no problem.
How do I get it to pick up the BBC etc freeview channels on Astra 2D? Do I need to add in the Astra 2A satellite manually? I'm slightly confused! Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Derrick

The Fortec Beta also has a 'blind scan' facility, I think they call it 'powerscan' or something. If you use that , you won't need an up to date transponder list, as the the receiver will find all the available transponders by itself.
 
i have the same system and have done the "power search" and can not get the full list of channels either?
 
Do as I suggest above and add the missing transponders.
