FTA Tuning Guide - Oct 2024

Change to S2. See post #87 above for an example of the tuning details. But just in case your dish has moved and is receiving another satellite not 28 East, name a few of the foreign channels you are getting.

Thanks dxhound2005, back in business. There seems to be a number of the ITV channels missing. It says 'No Signal' for a number of them. They might be showing up somewhere further down in the 400+ channels though.

Can you tell me, if I look at the Lyngsat page, where do I find the settings that the controller needs in order to get a lock on to the satellite. Currently, the settings that I have put in; are the settings that apply to the first channel group listed on the LyngSat page - a number of BBC channels. Is this coincidence, or is this the normal procedure?

Post 87 settings are for BBC Wales, would these settings also allow the controller to get a lock on to the satellite, and allow the receiver to obtain a channel list?

Sorry, I should have looked up what that controller thing is before answering. It is a camper van installation, and you are probably the best expert on that equipment. In general terms, whatever satellite it is pointing the dish at, any receiver like the Amiko should be able to tune in the channels. A lot of the channels on 28 East are on the UK beam, which does not cover bits of France.
