- My Satellite Setup
- It's a Ship. Seatel coastal 24.
- My Location
- Out to sea
Right then. I need some help. I'd like to start by saying, I have ZERO knowledge or experience in fitting or setting up Sat TV.
I am currently on my ship, in Dordrecht, Holland. We have a satellite TV system on board, which is a Seatel Coastal 24.

Now, when it was fitted in a really shit Chinese shipyard, it did not work. So, when our last charter started, they paid a dutch fella to come and commission it so they could get dutch TV. So, they bought a dutch PPV sat receiver, and ran a cable down to their shack. Boom. All was well. Our system locked onto the Astra 19.2E Satellite and we got a few news channels. Now, the charter is done and they have taken the box and gone. So, I am trying to change the dish to Astra 28.2E. Now, this is where it all falls down. I cannot, for some reason, get a lock on 28..... It still locks onto 19, but when I use the presets to get it onto 28 it just constantly searches. For a few minutes about halfway into the search cycle, it'll give me full strength signal, with 99% quality and I can tune the boxes into BBC1 and ITV and so on. However, it won't stay put. The dish keeps on searching.... No NID value comes up, unlike the 19.2 preset, which comes up with NID 0085. When on the 28E it remains at 0000.....
The settings for the dish to 28 are
Preset - Astra 28E
Threshold :- 161
Name :- Astra28E
Position :- 028.0E
Freq :- 1198
ALT Freq :- 0000
Baud :- 27500
FEC :- 2/3
Network ID :- 0020
Now, does that look ok to you?
Cheers for anyone that can get me match of the day!
