[QUOTE="Robbo, post: 518544, member: 256551"] Which sats are you intending to have when it's all setup.? Not sure what you mean by ages, but usually it will take a while to do a full scan (maybe 5-10 mins). I don't know if the darkbox has "blind scan", but if it has, don't use it at this time. It is not necessary to do a full scan, just one transponder will do to get the dish lined up. Check on Lyngsat and pick one that has free to air channels on it. You shouldn't have too much of a problem finding Hotbird,19.2E or 28E. Once you think you have found any satellite, tighten the dish, do a quick transponder scan (check the channels with lyngsat), then work your way round to the one you wanted. :) [/QUOTE]
