Hello all,
Im completly lost here. I have installed an 80cm dish in Barcelona, this is not the first time and I have never had problems aligning to Astra 2 before, however this time, although I have a good signal (using a Promax machine and getting a signal of 6.1) when I try to search I only get about 30 channels (BBC news, BBC Alba, Community channel, Sky news ) but no BBC 1, ITV etc. Also the signal on the reciever says I have Nilesat and is giving no signal for Astra 2, even though the meter says I have.
Any ideas whats wrong?

Thanks
Paul
