Hi Guys, dug out the instructions for my SL65 at the weekend to try and enter the above info, I had info from Lyngsat and entered the Video and Audio PID but it asked for the PCR PID which I couldn't recognise from the lyngsat info anyway, I entered what I had and it showed on my channel list but no signal! any ideas what I need to do next?
Thanks in advance

Not sure how the setup works on the Silvercrest SL65 but you should just be able to tell it to scan a certain transponder

"I'm guessing you mean News 24 not just 24"
You are not allowed to call it that any more! It's now "BBC News". A pound in the swear-box, there's a good chap

Good Afternoon.
I have a comag, you do not need to put in pids, you only require the freq and either 22000 or 27500 etc, use manual tune only. If you can not find the channel I will guide you, remember Lyngsat,flysat,king of sats at times give out the wrong freqs. In this instance it was correct, put it in my own comag without trouble Bob Last edited by merlodlliw; 22-04-08 at 01:51 PM. Reason: one thought,BBC world on Astra 19 & Hotbird is now rebadged BBC world news. |

Ok follow these steps.
1.while watching say BBC 1, press menu button(2nd from left) everything is now using the 4 keys around ok,nothing else. 2.you will now be looking at the main board,scroll down from channel manager to system installation,using the remote. 3.press V+ to send the curser to the other side,using the remote key of the CH(bottom) scroll down to manual tune, press ok. The screen will now show manual tune page. this is how it should be inputted, using number keys also satellite Astra 28.2 this should be there already transponder IGNORE THIS FREQ put in the five numbers 11954, if errored go back Sym 27500 horizontal Skew 00 Channel type put to TV (selection here use TV in this case) Network search off PRESS OK, when everything is collected up to 20 seconds,if it says do you want to retain tell it yes,this does not always appear. the screen will now revert to main board. press exit twice, BBC news etc should be there. when I said ignore transponder,these will have changed since the comags manufacture. If this fails I will give you my phone number via PM and talk you through. let us know how you get on. Bob

Had a go at using your instructions and on trying your first step this is what I got, my SL 65 is 3 years old. Pressed menu and this is the first screen Channel page TV channael list Radio channel list Delete all Pressed V+ and this is what I got Instalation page Antenna set up Auto scan TP scan Preset scan Pressed V+ again System set up page Launguage Channel set up Time & timer setting OSD setting Parental lock LNB power Pressed V+ again Tools page Information Game Default value Software upgrade So couldn't get passed the first stage, my box may have different soft ware, could not find any manual set up page. I also noticed BBC 1 & 2 Scotland are gone, thats three channels I need to find, probably more will change in the next few weeks for freesat, more fun to come then. Pity a simple scan couldn't pick them up again! |

No you will have the same software, ill see where you have gone, on my own set.
Press menu , on the left you will see channel manager,drop down to the next one system installation.press ok On system installation go over to manual tune. I think you have stayed on channel manager the top one of about 4. look at my remarks marked number 2 in my guide thread 8. Bob Last edited by merlodlliw; 30-04-08 at 02:58 PM. |
