[QUOTE="JAYEDIN, post: 136340, member: 186099"] Rolf, There were about 2 freeview ones that I saw as I clicked through the channels - all the others were scrambled. There were about approx 288 channels identified by the Auto All channel scan. Most of the channels show a low signal strength on the screen ( 30-50) which seems quite poor. I read in Martin Pickering tutorial guides on Digital Sat - that wider dishes have a narrower focal angle - and this makes the dish alignment more critical. Mine is a 1 metre dish. Intuitively it dosn't make sense as I always thought that the bigger dish would collect more signal and therefore be more tolerant of alignment accuracy!!. Maybe I should get a smaller dish. Anyway once the weather improves I'll use the Satellite meter to hopefully align the dish better. Also I would have expected the Channel scan to have picked up i.e. Asianet which is a FTA but I did'nt see any signs of this channel - So question is do I need to manually add these channels/Transponder ?? Maybe the Manhatten channel search is not comprehensive. [/QUOTE]
