Like many others here, I am new to the satellite game and assumed that it was just a matter of getting the kit together, mounting it, pointing the dish in the right direction and bingo! I'm getting over 600 stations on astra 2 but no BBC, ITV or the regional radio channels (looking for the Scottish Gaelic channel) apart from BBC World. Where are the UK FTA channels? Same story on HellasSat 2, lots of stuff but the only Greek channels appear to be encrypted. I then tried Atlantic Bird on 5W, again lots of stations but none of the standard FTA French channels I believed were there. What am I doing wrong? I understood my Starlight 5800 should be enough to pick up at least the usual UK freeview channels and that the national Greek and French stations would help improve my fluency - unfortunately I'm not interested in Italian or Arabic of which there are lots! Help Please......!?!
