what is your receiver and set up as port will be referring to the diseqc port on the receiver switching capability

do you have a monoblock lnb for hotbird and astra 1 ?

What is your set up (dish lnb receiver) AND what are you trying to watch??

Do you get ANYTHING at all?

When you scan the channels what are the settings under the different headings especially those that concern the LNB?

For example: LNB Type; LNB Power: LNB Dish; Diseqc Switch.

Maybe start by checking the settings for those four headings first. 'LNB Dish' in particular should have the reading 'Fixed' if the set up is not motorised or 'Moved' if it is.
