Somewhat of a newbie question here, but first the background.
I noticed a few months ago that I lost reception for the two Swiss-German TV channels. No great shakes, but I recently found out that I had also lost some nice radio channels, so I tried to re-scan for all these. I noticed in my research that the Swiss German TV channel was changed in March, probably coinciding with when I lost the images. My guess is they switched transponder and/or frequency. They are now being broadcast on 12399 H on Hotbird 13E.
I ran a scan on my system (homebuilt Media PC with Technosat Multytenne) yesterday and noticed that for this frequency, I get the message 'no signal detected' (or similar). Transponders/frequencies before and after this in the scan do pick up a signal. Also, I am receiving the other Swiss channels, broadcast on another transponder but on the same satelite and with the same encryption. Note that the Multytenne is a small dish but despite this the signal strength and quality is OK.
So, my question is both general and specific:
1. Can anyone explain how the frequency and transpoders work and what causes a poor or missing signal? A big question, I realise.
2. What can I do to recover these missing channels?
Thanks in advance.
