Help I tried really

leave tuner B disconnected use goto 0 then select a channel on 28E and see if the dish moves there ok if it does you should be able to see all the chans on 28E if not your long and lat could be wrong

[Jaxter]

Dont doubt it at all Baz just making sure, if he has the correct lats and longs and the dish is moving using USALs then there is no reason that he cannot get the channels unless the dish alignment is out, we know his lnb is good because he has seen some channels with more than 70% signal they just dont match up with the sat he is supposed to be looking at.

@MAXWELL

not having a pop at you,

but if some channels are being found, not related to the sat required, the dish is either very badly aligned, or not moving at all, and is on the sat, that it was set up on, and there fore find a few freqs that tie in with those on 28 east, my guess is, its on 19 east, rather than 28 east, if so, there is not a lot we can do, until the alignment is sorted, or a fixed dish is used

np baz didnt mean it to come across as a retort.

He has verified that he has visually seen the dish move just fine, I agree with you that it is looking at 19E when he found the few channels and he has also stated previously that the installer set it up on 1W, my guess is the installer did a p*** poor job and left in a hurry, how many installers leave the customer with no viewable FTA channels and some basic instruction on how to access them especially as it is a Linux box. The installer doesnt have to get too involved just use the original image to get the guy running without any 'special' features,

[basilyoung]

where is he located??

there might be a relyable member near by

Hi im located in central Coventry as for your speculation about the installer not being able to rush off fast enough your right,in fact he was scanning and i told him that i would have to flash an image on the sat before any channels would show.
In fact the installer didnt even have a direct mobile number of the people he was doing the job for(it was past 4pm shop line was closed) and when an hour after calling them someone got back to him i heard the installer say to him ill pass you to the customer and the shop dude say no dont do that! then he proceeded to shout at the installer "its just your job to put the satellie up,not to set up the bloody reciever" the installer was so intimidated by him that he wouldnt even dare to ask him if we needed to flash the image before scanning!!!

[basilyoung]

thats made things a lot clearer

I suspect that your settings are at least 9 degrees out
what it will mean, is sat signals, ( with a change to your USAL setting ) will be very poor

try adjusting your USAL setting if simular to,

Address: coventry
Latitude: 52.4058°
Longitude: -1.5127°

- = a west setting
try changing that setting to Full-screen

Address: coventry
Latitude: 52.4058°
Longitude: -10.5127° (west)

if no go, change it to Full-screen

Address: coventry
Latitude: 52.4058°
Longitude: +8.5127° (east)

[basilyoung]

if you then follow my other surgestion...and use sat finder...look for 19 east/13 east
note the sig stengths, then try 28 which is likely to be very poor, as the dish assembly is most likely so far out

if we are correct, your dish set up will need correcting, lock stock and barrel

[Jaxter]

Thanks Baz I'm going to troubleshoot all of this then report back

[basilyoung]

please do, along with your east west setting, if you finally find a sat thats watchable,

baz

[Jaxter]

Ok I'm using sat finder and looking at the snr 13east hot bird shows 0% snr,as does astra 19.2 and astra 28.2!,

[basilyoung]

have you changed the USAL setting to my surgested settings in your tuner A config??
