Welcome to the forum B12.

I assume you have a fixed dish and it is not being moved by a motor. Having adjusted the dish for maximum signal, did you rescan the satellite for available channels or have you assumed the channels are as before. It is quite possible that you are adjusted to an adjacent satellite and are getting a signal but not at the frequencies you have logged into your receiver.

Hi B12 :welc1:

Are you trying to re-align to Astra1 at 19.2E? Try flicking through the FTA channels on the different adjacent satellites and/or rescanning as Jim says - see if you can get anything on-screen. It sounds like it's aligned with something!

If you can find any channels, let us know what they are and we might be able to ID the satellite. You may have found Hotbird.

Good luck!
