Hi tolmie,

I have never used diseqc switches but perhaps try this if possible to rule out a faulty sat box.

If you could connect the box to one of the LNB's directly bypassing the diseqc switch. Then set up the Solo so that it's tuner configuration is Simple-->Single-->(28.2 or 13) and download settings for just the satellite you have selected.

This way you can rule out any setup issues as it is completely straight forward. If you can't get a channel to clear this way then perhaps you have a dud Solo. If BBC FTA clears then it's back to how you have setup the diseqc in your settings.

If this is too messy with your setup call to a mate that has a Sly setup and connect to their dish with the setup above. If you cannot get the FTA channels to clear then return the Solo..

Cheers,
