LNB skew needs to be -18.6 degrees and a skew of -10.2 degrees is needed for Astra 28.2 and thats what it is set for just now. What do I need to do? I won't get a shot @ doing this till the weekend as my set up is being used at my static caravan which is only used then.

Thanks in advance
I believe that you have skewed up your skew figures, i.e it should be
-18.6 for 28.2E
-10.2 for 13E.

Both of these are a CLOCKWISE rotation when looking at the dish face. Although the figures are not critical, the best way to adjust it is to stick it roughly in the right place then rotate to get the best signal.

Well, just looked and it looks like it IS flagged as FTA,so hopefully an FTA scan will find it, as long as your Transponder list is up to date. I imagine it wll be though because that's the same frequency as Multivision ( different polarisation)

Thanks Guys, got the match on Hotbird didn't expect it to be in French, tried it with the sound down and the radio on but the digi signal was 5 seconds behind so made do with the french commentary which was funny.
I got 70% quality on my 60 cm dish in Ballater, Hotbird was a first for me and they do have some colourful channels.

Good one . You'll just have to learn french!

Yes there are some colourful channels on there, you have to have your wits about you, because some channels are normal during the day and get colourful when it gets late.
