No worries mate, It was because of your suggestion that I queried the query.

I changed digiboxes and immediately got a picture.Problem now is that I dont have all the channels(no ITV)and strangely only upto about ch number 140 then back to ch 101 whereas before I could press upto about 900 channels(a lot unavailable of course).and then radio channels.Now there are no radio channels.
Thanks

What is the signal quality like on the default transponder?

It should be above about half way.

If is too low then there may me a problem with dish alignment, the cable or the LNB. You could try tweaking the dish, to see if you can improve the quality reading at all.

The 07d2 is the correct number.

Are you getting BBC1,BBC2 etc.?

If the channel list only goes up to 140 odd that box has got out of date software in it.
