    Hi guys. I have a built in satellite tuner in new tv and am trying to do away with Sky.
    Problem is when I go to tune in satellite stations it only finds Astra 19.2 satellite.
    Could it be that dish is pointing at 19.2 and not 28.2. Itsthe basic Sky package and was installed about 4 years ago.
    Thanks in advance.

    All Sky digital programmes are received from the 28 degrees east position.

    Unless the Sky installer made use of a multi-lnb dish already in place, you won't be getting anything from 19 east.

    No it was a fresh install but not sure how i would be picking up 19.2 on the inbuilt tuner now.

    Is the tv actually displaying channels from 19 east, or just strength/quality display? Some frequencies are used at both 19 & 28.

    Thanks guys. Got it sorted. Tv was bought from pixmania and by default picked 19.2 for france but you couldnt change satellite from tuning screen. Thanks for help.

    peter how did you solve problem, was tv capable of tuning into astra 28.2 or did you have to add a seperate decoder, also were you able to recieve the irish channels on this tv without an additional decoder. Thanks mclapton
