    Hey guys.I bought a dreambox 800hd se recently and am having some difficulties.I can't seem to tune in my fta channels on it.when I scan astra 28.2 it only picks up about 70 channels and when I go look for them I can't find them.it has enigma2 on it.
    Absolute noob to this so go easy.
    It's only fta I'm looking for.any help on how to scan the sattelite and if there are setting I need to input manually would be very much appreciated.
    I have tuned in 2 Ferguson combi boxes in my house no problem but there was not nearly as many different options on them.

    Thanks in advance.

    your best bet would be to google dreambox and sign up to one of the specialist forums,

    70 channels doesnt sound rite. when i do a scan lots more come up. you either are on the wrong satellite or dont have it set up correctly. The tuner is only as good as the signal coming into the box
