Yes LNB Frequency is set to 9.75/10.6. As I mentioned, despite the apparent offset, I now have all available channels in good quality. Thank you to all of you who gave advice.

Lyngsat and Flysat both list the Astra transponders as allocated by SES. I would have thought that made them the official transponder frequencies.

I bought the thing on ebay. it's actually working very well now. I've done some manual searches over wide frequency ranges and found transponders that wouldn't show up doing full satellite scans. All the WDR channels appeared several MHz higher up than stated on the official transponder list.

Yes it appears that my TM5402 has a frequency offset. I have repeated my previous searches but at a slightly higher frequency range (using blind search instead of network search), and have found some of the missing channels. I might have to repeat the process on several transponders to get the...

I've checked them, and yes they are fine, with Astra showing up best on 2, HotBird best on 1.

OK what I did was a blind search for a frequency range of 12.400 - 12.550 GHz, horizontal only. It has picked up Sky Bundesliga, Sky Hits HD, Sky Sport News, MGM HD, Syfy HD, and Sky Sport News again, all from 12.454H, and none of which are listed by LyngSat (which lists subscrption channels as...

Ah yes I see what you mean.

No, not guilty on that one. I think a lot of HotBird channels are also not showing up.

OK thanks guys, those two transponders are now working on the TM5402. However I had to do a blind search on 12.422H. This returned a whole load of subscription channels which cannot be viewed, however Radio Bremen TV and the WDR channels on that transponder do not show at all. This seems strange.

It was 10.744 not 10.714... but that one is now showing up without any problem since I learned what the "Network Search" button was for! :) However I still cannot receive some channels that the SilverCrest picked up, eg: most of the WDR (and other) channels on 12.422. Something is still amiss.

It would be nice if that was possible, but the dish is high up the wall and inaccessible. I have just discovered what the "Network Search" button does. The previous time I tried it, it made no difference. However the transponder list has gone up from 95 to 111! Unfortunately 10.744H is still...

Two LNBs would require an extra cable installation, which would be a problem where I live. Would this LNB be an improvement? Technomate TM-2M 6 Degree Twin Monoblock 0.1dB LNB - Full HD & 3D

This attached photo shows where several transponders are missing. There are others missing, notably 10.744H.

Dish 78cm. LNB info says "Digital & Analogue Dual Focus, Monoblock LNB.

TM-5402HD CI. Must be M1 as no other info present. The first three or four scans counted 83 transponders, a more recent scan has picked up 95, but some transponders are still not visible to the system. although my reserve SilverCrest system picked them up OK. I'm still not sure exactly which...
