Hotbird 12303 V Have TV reception but want to hear radio channels on same TP (FTA Spain National Radio )

[dohouch]

Had to retune after RTVE left Astra 1, so I have the 24Horas & RTVE International in HD, but the radio channels give no signal warning?:confused:

Hi,
I have scanned 12303 V 27500 3/4, Radios 1,3.4 etc are coming in (Zgemma box in London)

[nekrub2]

When searching Hotbird 12303 V 27500 3/4 DVB-S2 8PSK I don't get any of the Spanish stations. I assume that my vu+ solo2 is not 100% MPEG-4 compatible.

[ronand]

The solo2 is mpeg4 compatible. Almost all HD channels are broadcast in Mpeg4.

My Box is TM5402HDCI Super+ SW V. 1.42 July 2014

Trying to add and/or edit RADIO channels manually on Hotbird 12303 V 27500
If I try to add new channel it asks for PCR PID , so where do I get this?
If I try to edit PIDs it asks for PPID value, so where do I get this for these radio channels
RNE1, RNE3 and RNE5.
Been happily listening without having to educate myself in satellite lingo, but now I can't avoid .

These are my settings and my search. No channels found.5979259793

Have you tried to scan the transponders on either side 12284 H and 12322 H?

hi, just tried now, got nothing on 12284 H , got 4 TV Channels on 12322 H no radio, just tried FTA search

[malcolmp]

I tried another scan (Hot Bird Total channels=1914 channels) 12284H = 17 TV (only TV on this transponder) channels (all coming in), 12303V = 12 TV channels and 8 radio (all coming in), 12322H = 6 Tv (only TV on this transponder) 4 coming in. IAre your LNBs OK and/or Diseq? Can you try another box?
I replaced my TM5402 with a Miraclebox a few years' ago. Then I bought and use as a main box a Zgemma H9S from WoS £70 approx (it's a really good box)

[dohouch]

@malcolmp: I just tried FTA search on those 2 TPs
on 12284 H , got 4 TV Channels on 12322 H
Will do a full search maybe later tonight and will report back,

I can save my Spanish Radio channels,but have no sound which is a serious drawback for a radio listener:rolleyes:

[dohouch]

@malcolmp: so scan all on 12284H 17TV no radio, on 12322H 6TV no radio.
Don't want to buy a new box right now as for me it's just radio listening.
If I could , or maybe you know something, I would get a non-HD box, these HD boxes are slow to switch from one radio station to another even on the same TP.
Maybe some HD boxes do it faster than TM or Revez.

[malcolmp]

Yes. 12284 H has only TV stations, 12322 H has only 6 Tv stations. The one you are interested in 12303 V has 12 TY stations and 8 radio stations.

I don't think you can buy a non HD box. Your box is quite old. (I found all of my boxes last about 5 or 6 years' before things slow down) You won't be disappointed if you buy a Zgemma H9S and at least you'll find out if your LNB etc is the problem.

[dohouch]

I have already tried Hispasat 30W , but will research it again and turn one of my 3 dishes ans see if I can get what I want there. Thanks for your suggestion of the Zgemma H9S. I suppose even if my box actually works, the advances/changes in transmission standards will make it less and less viable.

@malcolmp
my zGemma is on its way, would have been more fun to get mi ol tm5402 to rise to task, vut I give up now on that front

[malcolmp]

Hi,
I'm sure you'll find it's a very good and versatile box, Install Oscam and learn how to use it.
