I actually lost hotbird during the rain, so abandoned the 3 lnb setup, instead centering on astra2 (as the dish was already setup for this) and then adjusting the offset lnb to hotbird, based on pure luck! ****************** (Was a Link to Vortech Trading) See this guys ebay site. He does 2...

Rebooted the receiver and now get channel 4 HD OK. Scanned the BBC and c5 transponder and again got no pic or sound but another reboot sorted that! Awkward but I got there! Sent from my Nexus S using Tapatalk

actually...from the receiver spec: Format modulacji: DVB-S2 (LDPC 8PSK, QPSK), DVB-S (QPSK)

ah that could be it! scuppered. to be honest my multilnb setup doesnt give me great signal and this receiver cannot drive a motor. I might move to a technomate HD receiver and a motor, thou I believe the polsat card is locked to this receiver :/ there is no perfect solution!

The settings I used for C4 HD : 11.126 V - 22000 - 2/3 the channel added and I get the epg, but no darn pic/sound.

Channel4 HD shows up, but again no pic...this is like pulling teeth, I may give up on this receiver and buy something a bit better!

thanks thats ITV1 HD showing too! :P

Good Morning folks, I am considering replacing an offical cyfrowy polsat HD receiver with a Technomate, so that I can drive a motor and pickup FreesatHD. (My current multiLNB on one dish, gives poor signal). I see some of the Technomate boxes have a multicam reader, however will they support an...

Good call mate, factory reset the box and now I pick up BBC HD, BBC1 HD perfectly! ITV1 shows up but no picture as before :/ Is it FTA?

I didn't pick up the channels originally but I did manually enter those details and then it found the channels and added. I can now see them on epg and the current program details but no picture or sound. I don't think they use dvb-s2 on polsat but the spec. Of this receiver says its supported...

I do have a dish with multiple lnbs and a diseqc 1.0 switch which the polsat box supports and is working. I confirm fta channels such as bbc1 work fine as do hotbird polsat channels. Sent from my Nexus S using Tapatalk

Evening folks, My house mate recently brought back a Cyfrowy Polsat HD box (HD 5000) to the UK. Using a diseqc switch we can watch both freesat FTA channels and Polsat HD channels. According to the specs of the box, it supports DVD-S2 and mpeg4, however I cannot get BBCHD, ITV1 HD etc. - The...

All thats left is to hook up the diseqc switch and job done! All without a new dish.

Here's a pic. Not great. Sent from my Legend using Tapatalk

folks many thanks for the info! I ordered the cheap lnb holder linked above, an extra LNB and diseqc switch. Held off buying an 80cm dish for another week, but since I had all the other kit I thought Id test it out on our zone2 sky dish (Belfast). Not exactly sure how I fluked it all, but...
