Kaon Satellite Receiver

    Just connected a Kaon receiver to a quad lnb, three of the four available slots are now in use. When I do a scan on Astra 2/Eurobird I get all the channels listed and tuned. For some reason I can't select BBC 1 NI and other channels in close proximity but am able to select BBC 1 Wales and other variants. Also the radio channels, ie RTE Radio 1 etc, are listed but can't be selected. I can select RTE Radio 1 Extra. Have I it tuned to the wrong Satellite, if so which one should it be tuned to. If I tune in to Astra 1, I get all these channels above and can select the mentioned radio stations. But I only receive about 70 Satellite stations. Last thing I can think of is that the box is faulty, please offer any advice, much appreciated, thanks.

    Try deleting the channels that don't work, and rescan maybe.

    OK Byte, thanks for that, but am I on the correct Satellite?

    "Astra 2/Eurobird" is the correct list, and your dish is pointing at correct satellite or you would get no BBC.

    You may be missing Transponders. Check www.lyngsat.com Europe Frequencies 28.2E

    Try a "network scan".

    I've seen various Kaon boxes "brick" and misbehave, I'd not recommend one, but I think yours sounds ok, and it's jus the "missing" transponder issue common to all FTA receivers other than Freesat.

    Been out all day today, I looked up those frequencies and 081205 is a number that appears beside Eurobird and Astra 2. What do I do with that number? Sorry if it appears to be a silly question, I forgot to say that this machine is in Wexford and I am in Dublin, will be back down again next weekend and can try the Network scan. Should that frequency be selected in the LNB setup if the network scan doesn't work?

    OK, went back to Wexford yesterday, did a Factory Reset and a 'Network Scan' and thankfully all the channels returned, thanks for the suggestions, one delighted Father-In-Law! I'll be back to being a good for nothing by next week :D
