Got it sorted, just needed to select more than one satellite with strong signals to scan via.
No idea with the settings on this s9 box, all new to this but I'm getting there after some messing about.
Still missing the odd but very few channels, nothing major, but I'll sort it eventually...hopefully!

I'm in no rush to get this dish sorted, but I'm even thinking of getting a 80cm dish like THIS.
Would something like this really make a major difference to that of a MK4 dish just for Sky UK viewing??

Cheers

from what am a aware is that a 80 cm dish are only ideal if you want to view other satellites by using multiple LNB's. Otherwise its best to stick to a sky dish if you just want to view sky UK.

Ok, I may just go for a 80 out of curiosity lol.
That should be me sorted now. Now for the practical test.
Thanks for your help mate
