Only receiving German channels

    Hi i have a revez hdts850 combo box thats giving me hassle. I put the dish up and tuned it myself yesterday and i get 89% signal intensity and 76% signal quality when I check 10773mhz 22000ks/s H which iv read is where most of the English channels are broadcast from eutelsat 28A.

    I did a search and found 100s of English channels but they all said no signal but also 100s of German channels which all play perfect.

    I have an ariva 153 box aswell which has the same problem but the English channels say encrypted on it.

    So on the revez i restored factory settings and deleted the channel list and scanned again and now I'm only finding German channels. Am I pointed at the wrong satellite or what's going on?

    Thanks in advance

    You're pointed at 19 degrees east, rather than 28. As well as turning further east, you'll also need to lower the dish elevation slightly i.e. point it down a bit.
