I am located in Central Portugal close to the city of Castelo Branco

Thank you for the info. Okay, so I am locked onto the cluster of ASTRA Satellites at 28E. Researching on wikipedia (Astra 2D - Wikipedia) , I note ASTRA 2A,2B,2C and 2D have moved. Maybe these satellite movement changes are the cause why I cannot receive BBC/ITV channels now because I did...

Good Evening. I am in Portugal using a sky box Manufacturer: PACE Model Number 1.3.37 Version number: 9F0C02 Operating system version: 1.2S4FE EPG Software version: 3.4.4b With my satellite I have locked onto a signal. I have no idea what satellite I am connected to but the transponder is as...

Thank you for this info. Some more questions if I may, the RX connector on the DiseCq switch is that the signal coming in from the LNB or from the other dish? (Sorry Topper, yes by "Satellite I should have said "dish") Also as there is one cable going into my receiver then I guess the digital...

Hello I have a satellite pointing I think to Astra and another to Hotbird. I am in Portugal and two months ago I was watching TV fine but since returning back to Portugal last week I have not been successful in viewing any channels. Just getting "no signal". Today I went onto the flat foof...

Thanks Topper. Maybe someone else can shed some light on the channel 4 issue.

Good morning. I've been going through the many channels available on sky. Yesterday the 5 "5" channels ie channel 5, five us etc where not listed. In the evening they came through. Perhaps removing and replacing the sky card was the reason they appeared. Channel 4 does not show. Is there any...

Done it! Very easy to do. Did not have to change the dish. Just put in the default transponder number, turn off and on the new receiver and voila!

Thanks Robbo. I'll take a look.

Robbo, another question. If I changed over to the pace receiver to obtain the 5 5 channels via use of the sky card, would it automatically switch over? I've read that the sky box looks for a north beam and if it can't find it then you have to move the dish to find another tp that's on a south...

Fixed it Robbo! I deleted the tp that was applied for another channel on Hotbird and rescanned. Screwed up tight the satellite and then the signal was lost for the bbc transponder. I shall get the signal back tomorrow. It's a bit hot working in the sun! Many thanks for your advice. By the way...

By the way Robbo, what did you mean by "the FIVE channels"?

Thanks Robbo. I can see all the transponders I want. Namely 10758 and 10773. When i click ok it it scans for the frequencies and I can see the itv names appearing and saving. When I go to look at the programs on tp 10758 it has different program names like... C Cinema Frission C Cinema Premier...

Hello Thankyou both for replying. I've moved the direction of my dish! Sorry. What channels I can see are: E4+1 E4 MORE 4+1 Film 4+1 More 4 8350 (which i just heard the presenter say channel 4, which is fantastic!) 8389 (but the website http://www.lyngsat.com/astra2d.html does not list it)...

Hello from Portugal I seem to have downloaded 930 channels from the above satellite. I can view quite alot of them. The first one in the list is BBC1 London. Unfortunately it says "No audio/Video". Could someone tell me why this is the case? Thankyou Steve
