Sorry everone that replied to my post that it's taken so long to post back, managed to pick up all the channels I wanted in the end, rotated the LNB so the bottom went to the right and that way I got even less channels then did it the other way and got most channels, but most important all the...

Ok will do that i put the LNB in yesterday and didn't put it at an angle I put it in the collar jut straight so the LNB is square on to the dish, think by what you have said this is wrong. Otherwise if that does't help is my best bet to put the transponder I want and then adjust using the bar? I...

No haven't checked it yet as just about picked up the satellite last night. Sorry just learning about satellites, how do i check the skew of the LNB? Is that the rotation of the LNB or the angle of the arm?

Hi, after ages last night worked out what the problem is, worked out how to use the manual search, I can only pic up channels from Hispasat 1C not 1D. Now when I select the satellite it says Hispasat 1ABC so does this mean that I cant pick up 1D or is it more likely that i'm slightly out of...

It's odd I can pick up the encrypted channels on freq. 11.615 but not watch them because there scrambled, but cant pick up the free to air on 11.615. Doesn't make sence I have good receiption for it as well.

Static, I did automatic search not sure how the manual search works on mine! Spent ages setting it up oh and it's free to air only

Spent all day today re installing my dish on a pole on T & K brackets now can only get 23 channels which most cant watch, more to the point no free mature content channels any advise please on what I need to do to pick them up?

Hi spent all day re setting up my satellite with T & K brackets today, have managed to track down Hispasat but can only tune in 23 channels is this right or is it not set up properly? and the ones I wanted aren't there. Any advise would be apreaciated.

Opened my [package today of my T & K brackets which are fine, I got 3 v bolts with it one for each bracket and one to replace the one on the back of the satellite that I cut off because it got threaded. Problem is there different size to the one on the back of the satellite so it won’t fit the...

I found a web site that sells the T & K brackets and also the poles in different lengths in Aluminium and steel. When have found it again will post the web site. One other thing wanted to ask what is the best type cable to but to run from the LNB to the reciever? How much should I look at paying...

Ok will order the galvernised brackets with a 6 foot steel pole. Thanks for the help.

I've ordered my satellite finder kit and now need to order my brackets, from the advice on this forum i'm going to go for a pair of T & K brackets, want to ask am I best to go for galvanised and the pole am I better going for steel rather than aluminium. Also last thing, i'm putting the...

Ok got it, when I was trying to tune my satellite without a sat finder I didn't tune to a channel manualy, was trying to use the bars but couldn't find the sat because it kept just picking up any sat. Then tried to do auto scan whilst moving which I figured was impossible anyway. Will do it the...

What I meant was when say on my reciever I pick say Hotbird 13E my signal bar has a signal strength where ever I point it so I thought that must mean that it's picking up another satellite like maybe astra 19.2 So I thought if i'm looking for Hotbird will it just beep when it hits that or beep...

Sounds good where did you buy it from? Also how do you know which satellite you picked up, how does it work exactly because when you point the dish there could be a few satellites close togther and it may give a signal strength but not for the one you want. Does it tell you when your at the...
