[QUOTE="PoloMint, post: 52409, member: 175235"] Which Via dish do you have? Around here there are two sizes, older tiny ones of 45cm or so and the newer installations (about the last couple of years) have ones of 60cm or so. The newer ones are offset (higher than wider) and have the new Via logo on them, older ones have the square blue logo on them. If you have the newer bigger dish and move it to Astra 2 you have a reasonable change of picking up the south beam channels. Look on this list [url]http://www.lyngsat.com/packages/skyuk.html[/url] over to the right of the table it tells you what satellite and beam the channels are on. If the channels you want are on 2A South or 2B South you might be OK, anything else and you will almost certainly need a bigger dish. If you are using the digibox to align the dish you will not get a signal reading as the default transponder is on a north beam, if you press Services 4 0 1 Select that will take you to the installer menu, from there you can manually enter a south beam transponder from the list above by selecting manual tuning, or by changing the default transponder.
