    How do I get Eurobird on SL 65?
    While there are serveral satelites to chose from Eurobird is not one of them. Strangly enough it was up on the first Lidl satelite receiver I had.
    I presume there must be a way you can find it and activate it on SL 65.

    At a guess i would say just add the transponders to the astra 2 list, they may already be included

    If you are have pointed the dish and scanned Astra 2 then I suspect you have the Eurobird channels already as part of the same channel list.

    SL65 will list all the channels it receives when pointed at a particular point in the sky but will not distinguish which sat they are from.

    What channels have you got available to you? Check www.Lyngsat.com to see which sats they come from. eg. I think all the Zone channels are Eurobird 1.

    If you really wanted to you could set up Eurobird as a seperate menu option, rescan and you'd end up with a duplicate of all channels already scanned under Astra (kind of pointless though).

    An autoscan on Astra2 should bring them in, no need to add manually. If they're not coming in, then dish/LNB will need a tweak, as Eurobird is at a slightly different orbital position (28.5E; Astra 2 at 28.2E).
