Thanks for that - I'm in the process of stripping the system right back to basics, to check everything. I'll surely report back if I get problems, but think I've got the hang of it (theoretically at least). Thanks for your patience.

Can I suggest that you list some of the regionally specific channels? I was trying to make sure what satellite I was watching, and once I found quite a few NRK (Norwegian) channels, I searched Lyngsat, and confirmed which satellite they broadcast on quite easily. This is probably well known...

No further ideas? No-one know the angle I should set the dish to? Help appreciated still...

Hello again. Have spent two days playing with antenna, and decided that I had cracked the problem. This may be a bit tedious in explanation, but I'd like to try and make sure I've covered everything. The dish is a 90cm 'no-name', the motor is a DiSEqC Geo-track H120, and I'm in SW London, lat...

OK, thanks for the pointers, you're right: the centre satellites are missing. Tomorrow I'm going to play again. Sorry to be a pain, but what about the clamp holding the LNB? I can slide that back and forth a bit - is adjustment there normally necessary, or is it a case of, 'if it works then...

No, can't receive anything except an increased signal strength. Have tried both H&V each time.

Thanks for the prompt response - that manual is very informative. Today I had another shot at peaking things up, and noticed a variable I've not played with before - the LNB housing. That has perhaps 2 cm of adjustment, bring the lnb towards and away from the centre of focus. Is it worth...

Hi - I have a motorised dish, which is largely overkill as I now only want to receive one satellite - Turksat 42 deg E. The dish is 90 cm wide, and I'm located in SW London. Setting the dish to scan all available satellites I can receive, I usually find:- Hispasat 30 deg W Nilesat 7.0 deg W...
