ET9200 complete faq/guides needed please

[dejo]

uuu. I bought et9200 today . i didn't know that this tuner is a new model. which all plugins , and images from et9000 can not be used for the et9200 ? How does it differ from the et9000. how do you think it was a good choice?

I have gotten details of an italian free to air server, and as i'm half italian it would be good to catch up with current affairs etc.
Whats the best way of entering this information on the box, and, am I able to transfer it via usb stick? thanks

[mikizmo]

rather than start a new thread as suggested, it seems pointless as i've already started this one asking for help with my ET9200.
I have a sky dish wall mounted outside, with 2 seperate internal wires, I have no idea of direction etc. All I know is when doing an auto scan it's picking up nothing at all, so any suggestions would be great thanks

p.s. I have gotten details of an italian free to air server, and as i'm half italian it would be good to catch up with current affairs etc.

you need to re-read the site rules, specifically 3a, we can not discuss any thing related to cardsharing servers on this forum, we can and will help you setup your cam to read a card you have but beyond that we can not help.

Post your tuner settings for both Tuner A & B and you also need to be sure where your dish is pointing before scanning. For instance if its pointing to 28.2 you will need to set your tuners accordingly then run a manual single satellite scan.

ok thanks. How do I go about finding the tuner settings?
Is there any way the et9200 would be able to read/tell me the dish settings?

I advised you in another thread about the forum rules and you now go and post this. If you want to carry on enjoying the benefits this forum offers please desist from card sharing talk.

i've already noted the post about re-reading the rules. I was NOT talking about card sharing, I was talking about a free to air italian broadcast and how to input the settings.
I am now asking about how I go about finding the tuner settings and if there is any way the et9200 would be able to read/tell me the dish settings?

If you read your post you will see the part that raised concerns

Which satellite are the FTA Italian broadcasts, as you will need to know that to point your dish at it. If they are FTA than you dont need any other settings as the box will do the rest.

[mikizmo]

well that's the problem, I don't know which way the dish is pointing as it was here from a previous sky installation, so i'm assuming it's a general setting? But I have no way of knowing

[Stanman]

Have a search of the Italian FTA here and it will tell you what sat its on

As for current one is it fixed SKy dish or motor

[Sicilian]

If the dish is from a previous sky installation in the UK is probably pointing to 28.2 which is completely wrong for Italian TV as Italian TV is on Hotbird 13deg.

I suggest you get an installer to check where the dish is pointing an make sure the LNB is working correctly.

thanks a lot, it's not a motorised, it's just the standard fixed dish

As mentioned above if its an existing setup you will most likely be facing Astra 28.2e and thats what you need to set your tuner to and do a scan on that
