Hello,
I am working on an offshore barge in the middle east where we have a Sea Tel DAC 2200 Unit.
the technician who installed it very long time ago he did the setting for us to have Arabsat.

We would like now to change to another satellite, as it would be easy to get the signal there, we wished if we could get ES'HAILSAT 25.5E as we have Bein Sports receivers and we would want to watch these channels:

BeIn on Eutelsat 25B/Es'hail 1 at 25.5°E - LyngSat

But facing the sea tel dac 2200 unit I have no idea how to put the data, I mean I know how to put the numbers and all but what should I put in all of these??

THRS ?
FREQ?

I know how to go to the setup and change values but I don't know what numbers should I put in there.
How do I calculate FREQ or what is the NID number ?

I would like to put the data of these channels as I am pretty sure I could receive them.

And I am using a universal LNB by the way as it's related to calculate the FREQ but I don't know how.

Universal LNB, two bands, operated by TONE

Tone on - subtract 10600 from frequency required and enter into freq
Tone Off- subtract 9750 from frequency

BAUD should be symbol rate

I would also have expected something like POL for polarity, and options of H or V

There's volt that has the vertical option.

I did the calculation and tried with tone on and off but no luck yet

It's frustrating because I got few channels from 25.5 E but not Bein Sports package

should they have different settings because they are running on
2/3
DVB-S2
8PSK

I don't have any idea?

I just checked and it turned out they are not actually in eshailsat 25.5 E
but from Badersat 26.0 E

but weirdly they showed as eshail channels when I put the new values and did a search in eshailsat

the channels I got are oman tv package. . this is one of them

Oman TV Sport - LyngSat

So, you are close, but not exactly on the satellite you require.

Change the SAT listing to 0255 E if possible and rescan.

I did that, also tried to twist it like 25.6
or 25.4 and like that.
but no luck.

the frequency of the channel I am looking for is 11547 so tone off ;
11547 - 9750 = 1797

that's the freq I put.
along with baud and polarity

I don't know if I am missing something.

At the bottom of the page on the previous mentioned link is a download pdf for the installation and operation manual. It´s quite a long read but should have all the info you need to adjust the dish. Is it possible the dish isn´t moving when you try to input the new satellite details? Might be worth getting someone to watch it and try sending it well west, say 0.8 W , if this is possible.

The link again, in case you missed it

I assume that's code for some kind of rule violation. Please PM me so I know, and I will ensure it won't happen again.
I don't think it's directed at you but encouragement to lpe427 to follow your link as a first course of action.
