Yes same on TM Wod Any other receivers getting it? I presume most will be - as it is definitely FTA (working with patch turned off).

It may be that you already have it in your list - or you have exceeded the amount of transponders that you can store. If you have 11448 for instance (anything within about 5Ghz either side), the receiver will see it as the same transponder. You can type in new symbol rate if it is different to current.

Thanks for the advice Yorks i cleared a load of dead transponders and it then let me enter the new one, working now although picture / reception is awful.
me thinks me needs a bigger dish i dont think my 80cm is up to the job.
i have been thinking of subscribing to this for the football does anyone know if it transmits the footy in wide screen like Premier or is it 4:3 ?
thanks again for the help Yorks. cheers

I am getting 76-79% Quality on TM1500 on Premium 1 atm, in S. Yorks with 88cm dish.

Not sure about format. I think re-run of EPL game earlier was in 16:9 - with english commentary on APID 2143 (2nd audio channel on TM1500).

Yes. I think 80cm dish is borderline really. 1m is recommended if you want good reception in all weathers.
