hi i have a 90cm motorised dish with a technomate 5400 . i have just been on thor west 1 and galaxie sports and digi has lost its signal ? is it just due 2 the weather or do i need 2 do somethin ???????????? newbie sorry lol

Try BBC world (11325H) on 1 west; its signal is usually strong and should withstand current weather; if it's OK then your problem may be one of two things --- (a) that you need up to date keys for Digi TV or (b) that the dish is not big enough (or well aligned enough) to give sufficient allowance/margin for dodgy weather.

I have just had a look. It is still on here.It is poker on galaxie just now.This morning I had a black screen at first but after a few minutes it came on.I think that it is something to do with the patch looking through different keys.Then again I am probably wrong.

Hi all,
There was a key change yesterday so that might have something to do with it, your patch might have been updating the keys, I think it is AU on your box.

Very best regards Wez

As wez says It may be to do with the au.Is it turned on.I know that on my box, a new patch turns the au on automaticly.Sometimes the patch takes a while to find the new key.

Try scanning Galaxie Soorts in again, above and below the frequency, 12640 V 27500 and 12648 V 27500.
Do you have all the other channels on that frequency?
