Hi, I bought a null modem cable and I want to load the SoftCam.key file into my Phoenix Apollo receiver. Does anyone know what software I need to do this and what I am supposed to do to get the keys loaded? Thank you.

ok let me just add something important that i forgot to say, when i moved it from 5.0W to 1.0W it seemed like it moved east and then moved back west to its original position. At first i thought it was my eyes, but when i returned to the channels, the satellite is on 5.0W and im getting Atlantic...

ok i moved it to Intelsat 1.0W from Atlantic Bird 5.0W using USALS and the dish moved a very small amount... when it scanned for channels, it found nothing though.

i tried ringing him but his mobile is switched off. I'll try ringing later. If he did set it at 5.0W, could this be an explanation why I wasn't able to receive a signal for other satellites when I did a manual search?

this is getting hillarious. First of all, DISEQC was set to NONE when I was getting a signal, when I turn it to DISEQC 1.2 Motor, the signal disappears. Anyway, I scanned for the channels with Diseqc set to none and I'm getting ARTE, LCP, Hot Chili, GCPE 1, Diva Futura Plus, France 2, 3, 4, 5...

ok ill just go and scan the channels

nop i don't think its aligned to 5W. Just to clarify, is this problem something that can be fixed using the receiver, or will the installer need to get up to the roof and set the motor? thanks

i was just checking it again now. I did 'go to reference' again from fresh and when I scroll through the satellites, it says Atlantic Bird 5.0W has a good signal, but thats the only satellite giving a signal. Does this mean anything?

ok, but if the installer set 0 reference as Hotbird, then shouldn't Hotbird work after I have done 'GO TO REFERENCE'? Here are some screenshots that I just took: after going to the main menu, this is the 'Satellite Search' section...

it could be possible that I didn't select the BBC World transponder properly, but I was a bit unsure of this in the first place. After doing 'GO TO REFERENCE', I highlighted THOR 0.8W and I chose 'Transponder' (yellow button) and the list of transponders appeared for THOR 0.8W. I selected the...

i just tried it and its still on 1% signal. I selected THOR 0.8W and then changed to Disecq 1.2 and then went to the motor menu. I did GO TO REFERENCE and then I moved it a little West, but still no signal. Is there anything else that I can do? Could this be a different problem, or am i doing...

about the transponder, do you mean just try the BBC World channel on Thor to see if its working rather than another a channel with a weaker signal? sorry for the silly question but im a newbie :-rofl2 i'll go try it now. thanks.

damn, its still giving no signal.... In order for me to choose 'GO TO REFERENCE', I have to choose a satellite, then select 'motor' and then on that menu I can choose go to reference. I hope this is the correct way because I don't see any other way i can do it. thanks.

i did GO TO REFERENCE and then I went to Hotbird and I'm still getting no signal. I'll go and try it one more time.

yeah i've got my latitude and longitude co-ordinates. I'm gonna try the reference now. thanks.
