[QUOTE="A nonymous, post: 592985, member: 240839"] I get it all the time when lining up Sky dishes on transponder 48 here in the UK. ( I always use transponder 48 on 10818 V for some reason, never figured out why, i just do :-DOH!) I always use the spectrum on my meter rather than the sat finder function and i can never tell 19.2e and 28.2e apart until i scan the transponder. After i get a satellite lock if it comes up with BBC1 i know i'm on the right satellite i.e 28.2e , If i get Canal+ Accion+30 i know i'm on the wrong satellite i.e 19.2e. This is what the guy who set your dish up has done :-DOH! Both Astra 1KR and Astra 2D transmit on 10818 V. Your receiver will think its on the right satellite because you've told it that is. It sees the frequency and the polarisation is correct so it assumes it looking at the right satellite. Hope this explains it. :-beer Nano [/QUOTE]
