60cm Skymaster dish
Skymaster DXL9400 rcvr

Just recently started with sat tv as the cable tv here in NE Switzerland sucks. I'm English and wife is Belorussian neither of us understand german
so I bought a complete system by Skymaster with a 60cm dish, UniLNB and receiver. I live in an old town where sat dishes are not allowed but after temporary setup with dish taped to camera tripod pointing out of window, I have now put dish in hidden place on next doors flat roof out of sight.
I am receiving hotbird AND astra 19E on a single LNB with system showing 78% signal strenth and 76% quality on both. I am not receiving anything on astra until transponder 71 but in total incl. the scrambled ones im showing about 1,850 channels. I can watch bbc world ,euronews, mtv 5 ,e-tech and lots of italian and german stuff. Wife can watch polsat, RTR Channel 1 russia etc, a total of about 20 russian and polish channels.
For my first setup I am very pleased. Receiver has 2 scart, s-video, componet video out, spdif and optical output for audio.
No english manual but I figured it out in a short time.
Complete package was 88 euro. I think a bargain.
One question for anyone in the know....
Did manual scan through scrambled channels a few days ago (ok so I was bored) and managed to pick up Nick European, MTV 1, BBC Prime and Motors TV unscrambled. whoo hoo cool....now today they are gone.
each channel shows up on about 3 or 4 diferent transponders so i rechecked each one but no luck.
anyone tell me why i was able to pick them up in the first place. Receiver does not have encryption card slot or internal
Thanks in advance for info
