Thanks for all the suggestions. The 4000/500 channel limit may be the problem. I am still finding my way around the Technomate and while trying to scan Astra2 I choose Blind search by mistake at one point. I canceled it after I noticed what was going on but didn't check whether I had reached my limit or not. I will check when I get home later (after I have figured out how to do it
). I don't think there is anything nearby causing an interference problem. Also the Comag finds the transponder when I search for FTA.Thanks again, will let you know how I get on. |

I finally managed to get the channels . To do it I deleted the transponder (again) and re-entered it manually (again) but this time I entered 10907 V instead of 10906, did a scan and up came the channels
![]() I thought I would try this because I noticed that yesterday when I deleted some transponders and did a network scan some of the transponders came back with strange (to me) numbers. Quite a lot of them came up with SRs of 27501 instead of the 27500 that I expected. Any ideas on this? Is there some basic setting that I have screwed up that might cause this or maybe is the Technomate reporting the more accurate setting? |

Ah, good spot. It's probably just the tuner being hyper picky about the frequency (maybe it's a little bit out of tolerance?) but at least you've sorted it.
My Dreambox does that automatically, but I can alter it back manually with no ill effects. Well done anyway. I'll remember that one too, for other Techno users.
