I have just replaced my old satellite system with a much newer system, in particular a Mix Digital 1.1m mesh dish, a 4 way LNB holder along with 3 LNBs (Inverto Black Single Ultra 0.2dB High-Gain Low-Noise LN. I am currently using a Technomate TM-1500 CI* Super set top box and it has been okay since I have got it, but I may look at changing the box at some point in time.
Anyways, I came to do a blind search on Hotbird (I'm ignoring other satellites at the moment) and spent a long while wondering why I'm not getting any of the correct channels. After a little bit of research I've found out that I'm picking up all the channels from 7.0E (Eutelsat 7A)!
What was very confusing was I aligned the dish while looking at the telly and made sure that both the signal strength and quality of the hotbird signal was high - and it certainly was - far higher than my previous setup (80cm dish single LN. So why would Hotbird give a fantastic signal yet in fact I was scanning Eutelsat 7A 7.0E?
When recieving the satellite strength, is the satellite name not also sent? What could cause such a problem?
