picking up hotbird channels on astra 1
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
hello,
tuning in my mates system TM dapci 5500.
moving the dish to what i think is hotbird.got a good signal
on my digisat meter.select sat hotbird,go into auto-search,
satellite-hotbird,scroll down,network search on,select all, do my
channel search-nothing.
still in auto-search,(without moving the dish )select sat astra 1,(thinking i must be on this satellite )scroll down,network search on,
select all,do my channel search.normally i get about 600 channels,but
this time only 200 and most of these from sly italian package which is
on hotbird.confusing.so i recheck everything thinking i¨ve made a
mistake but still the same.do you think i¨m picking up a sat west of
hotbird.any ideas please.trying again thursday evening.before i move
the dish i would just like to know which sat i¨m on as it is such a
strong signal.thanks.
