I've seen a few mentions of LIDL's SL65 setup but no thread has pointed me to the solution I seek. Here's my story:
I bught the Silvercrest SL65 in LIDL last week to put up in a house in Wexford, South-East Ireland. Finally got around today to driving down and put it all together, and up high on outside wall.
Followed all instructions and fairly quickly once I pointed the dish in the same direction as neighbouring dishes I got a huge amount of European channels coming through on:
ASTRA1 19.2E
ASTRA2 28.2E
Hotbird 13.0E
+ some others that were preset by Silvercrest
The only channels that I was interested in that I could see were:
CNBC Europe
Euronews
BBC World
Sky News
...and they come in crystal clear!
But although the BBC & ITV channels are displayed in the "List" they are just black (There is no "No Signal" message)?
The dish is 57cm and everything seems to be working ok.
Any troubleshooting tips appreciated.
Is the dish too small perhaps?
The SL65 receiver ...change to another?
The Universal LNB that came with it?
I have tried moving the dish in all other directions.
Do I possibly need to program in different codes, frequencies...etc?
Since I do not have easy or frequent access to the setup then as much troubleshooting tips/pointers as possible would be great and I'll print them and bring them down over the next few days.
Cheers!
