[QUOTE="Tom Mountford, post: 146212, member: 186234"] I've taken to going to the various websites (Lyngsat etc...) listing all the transponders on a satellite and manually adding them to my Technomate... I found that the Auto Scan and Blind Scan features in it both appear to find only a very small list of transponders carrying 24/7 commercial TV channels so I don't think either Blind/Auto really work unless you give the receiver some information to go on first. BTW - Channel Hopper... The guys who installed my dish had a spectrum analyser and got the dish-pointing spot on across the arc within minutes... I'd wasted days trying to do it with a little bleeper gadget. I looked on ebay for spectrum analysers and they seem to be £900-£1200... should there be any cheaper ones than that... I remember being able to get cheap oscilloscopes that ran in software with a cheap PCI card... anything like that available for spectrum analysis??? Tom. [/QUOTE]
