I'm not sure I follow. Should the Transport Stream always be 07d4? Does the fact that it's changing mean I've aligned the dish incorrectly? And could it account for the disappearing channels? Thanks! Kevin

Thanks for the replies (and apologies for the delay - I didn't get an email notification). I've got a Panasonic TU-DSB35. Kevin

Hi, A few times over the last couple of weeks, I've noticed higher-numbered channels disappearing (once, it was everthing above 519; another time, everything above 529). If I unplug my Digibox and plug it back in, it searches for available channels and everything is OK again. But why is this...

Thanks, Rolf. Those torroidal dishes look awesome! But I think I'll just get an old analogue dish and do it that way. It's probably much cheaper.

Thanks, Rolf. So with a 60cm dish, could I have two LNBs, one for Sky, one for French analogue? Incidentally, in which direction would the dish be pointed? Halfway between the two satellites, with the LNBs adjusted accordingly?

Hi, Is it possible to fit a Sky minidish with a second LNB to receive French analogue channels on Telecom 2C or would I need another dish? Thanks, Kevin P.S. Before anyone asks, I've got an analogue decoder and a French PAL/Secam TV (in addition to all my regular stuff) both of which I bought...

Hi Rolf, Yes, there's only one Scart socket and it's all connected OK. Toggling PAL/RGB does change the picture quality slightly, but has no effect on the strobing. I forced a software download, which went OK. But the strobing still persists. Thanks for your help. Looks as if I've exhausted...

I've checked Scart Control (no mention of voltage - is that the right one?) and it's definitely on. But turning it off doesn't seem to have any real effect on the picture. The TV is a Brandt (which I think is the same as Thomson in the UK). The AV button cycles through AV, AV-S and the last...

Hi Rolf, Thanks for the reply. I've tried RGB, but it doesn't appear to have any effect. What's the Scart voltage control, and how do you check if it's been turned off? I've tried changing Scart cables, by the way, but it hasn't made any difference. Also, do you think it would be worth...

Hi Rolf, The video output is set to PAL. I haven't tried RGB, though maybe I should. The thing that mystifies me is why it should suddenly start doing this after six months of working perfectly. Could it be influenced by any nearby electrical appliances? I've been racking my brains to try and...

Hi, I've noticed in the last week or so a type of strobing effect when certain graphics appear on screen. I have a Pace 2500b with a FTV (or is it FTA - I can never remember) card. The signal strength and quality are unchanaged from before. I notice the effect when a caption, or a graphic...
