They have only just been scanned with a new VU+ duo receiever.........All looked at immediately after scaning.......And a fair number come up with SID not found in PAT.....Some show signal strenghths (not the ones that say sid not found in pat) and are not shown to be encrypted yet still do not...

That's what I was concerned about.......The chap (installer) that recently set up the positioner parameters advised me not to take the dish to extremes. He set the range I am currently using........Although I am now used to the positioner and could set new parameters but If there is not much out...

Hope I have selected the right forum for this question. I am scanning satellites in the range of 28deg east to 30deg west. Is it practicable or possible for a 80cm dish to scan further in either direction........Is there anything of interest byond my present range that my 80cm would pick up...

Thank's guys. Even if I didn't need to change anything I have learned a bit more........Have a good night......Regards.

I just hope if and when I modernise with a Disq 1.2 that the reciever doesn't crash as it always has when the settings are changed .....

Those are the settings I already have!!!!!!!!

Tuner "A" set up also says ..positioner:USUALS..........No mention of disq type. Of course with my set up USUALS does not apply.........

No. The Pace positioner is nearly 17 years old..........

No it's not a V box. It's a Pace positioner with remote control. Yes with my old reciever I was controlling the dish manually with external positioner just as I am doing now by retaining the old set up for now........

If I go into the "advanced" option it lists the following Configuration mode "advanced" Satellite "choice" LNB "not available" It's the LNB not available that puzzles me. I can open up LNB options from that point but then if I try to come out of it with or...

Yes that's correct.........But as I say if i attempt any other settings the box crashes......and reverts back to the setting stated above......
