Amiko Mini Combo - change Sky News channel frequency

    Sky news is no longer working on an Amiko Mini Combo I have in a bedroom because I believe the channel frequency has changed. I have looked at the manual and some videos but am not sure of the terms/lingo so don't want to mess up all my other channels until I know what I am doing. Can anyone tell me how to change a channel frequency or give me a link to anywhere that does. Sky News is no 98 in my channel list. I can see the channel information with the frequency set to 12207 and believe I need to change it to 12070... but can't yet see how to change it. Many thanks for any help

    12207 V 27500 5/6 is the Irish version of Sky News
    12070 H 27500 5/6 is the UK version

    Flysat shows 12207 on the 2F beam needing a 60 cm dish. 12070 is 2E 45 cm. I can notice the difference on my 1.1 m dish 11 dB and 14 dB. If someone had not got their small dish set up very well it could be an issue.

    Only getting to try this now and probably a silly question but I can get into sat installation and change TP index to 12070 but don't seem to be able to save the change and loose the change when I exit

    Is there a section under manual scan to enter details of frequency etc and scan that only frequency?

    Sky News currently set at 12207 V 27500 and used to work but now just blank screen, all other channels working normally. Can I change the TP index and save the change or must it be added to the end of the list as a new one

    Instead of changing an existing TP there should be an option to add a new TP with the required settings.

    There's a lot to be said for a full blind scan, especially with this particular STB as its very user friendly as regards rearranging channels.
    Should pick up everything, all migrated and newly available channels, I do mine every couple of months, I'd say about 15 mins start to finish including terrestrial scan.

    I wound up doing a scan for free channels and wound up with a bile of new channels at the end of the channel list, including Sky News so then moved the channels I use most to the top of the list... and job done!!
