    Receiving Astra 19.2E with standard Sky Digital Receiver

    The non Sky receiver worked fine. Signal strength varied between 78 and 94%. I could receive all the channels I expected. When I reconnected my Panasonic Sky receiver it also could receive all the channels - the only thing I did was switch it off for a week (I had not switched it off when...

    Receiving Astra 19.2E with standard Sky Digital Receiver

    Receiving Astra 19.2E with standard Sky Digital Receiver

    I can only receive two multiplexes from 19.2E – transponder 32 and 68. I do not think the problem is signal strength (I have a 60cm dish and live in southern UK). I assume that there are additional parameters which I cannot set with my receiver (Panasonic TU-DSB20). Can anybody shed any light...
