LG 2019 OLEDC9 Freesat

I picked up one of these and I got Saorview setup ok and now I’m trying to set up the Satellite now. I had a look through the forms here and still can’t figure out what the settings should be as it’s showing no stations after the end of a auto scan. Any ideas on what to set LNB Frequency, Transponder, LNB power & DiSEqC?

I did change the tv to UK and now it gives me the option for freesat but that didn’t help. I had a freesat box installed but I removed It as the tv should be able to do it too.

Thanks.

+ Picture of settings. I’m in Bray if that makes a difference to settings...

You need to set the region to the UK and not Ireland. Then you'll get the Freesat option to setup. Think it'll ask for a UK postcode - can't recall. I used a London one (as it suits me to get London news) but others use one from NI.

You'll then have to manually re-number the Saorview channels as they will be scanned in from the mast and appear out of order at ch 800 onwards.

Might seem like a daft question, but, you did connect the cable from the satellite dish to the TV's LNB-in socket? (Screw-on type.)

I was not certain what position that LNB Power switch is in ..... make sure it is on.

I’ve 2 LNB coming from the satellite and it’s screwed tight in the back of the tv. I’ve also redone the F connector afterwards just in case that was it. Still no joy.

I’ve changed it now and I get the freesat option now. It’s also has a free view logo on the Saorview channels. Still no channels. Tried BT11AA postcode no joy. Should the satellite signal quality and strength bars should show all the time? Or will it show when I have the correct settings? Currently it is the former.

Thanks

You should have unicable switched off and you will only get a signal if the satellte has the transponder frequency that you select. you are using fixed antenna, unicable uses a different lnb.

use sky news 12207.00 V DVB-S QPSK 27500 5/6 to get a signal

Hope your sorted but did you have SKY Q by any chance?

I assume this cable was working with the Freesat box? There should be no need to go near any settings.

I think there is an issue with LG webOS and the implementation of HBB support.
I just purchased a LG SM8600, I can tune in the Freesat stations via a dish, but when I click on any channel it returns an "Invalid Service" error message.

There is a thread on lgwebos with multiple cases of this problem and a very unsatisfactory response from LG support!

With LG tv's you need to switch from tuner to the other . The way around it , is the set your fav Freesat channels in your favourites .Recordings have encrytion .can only be played back on that tv .

I need to borrow the box again to retest it as it did work. Could it be that the dish is off because of the wind?
