Some Channels missing
I'm completely new to this!
I recently purchased a Fortec Star FS-4200 From maplins.co.uk. PUt it all together. Pointed my dish at the Astra 2abd 28.2 degrees. It came with a warranty card tell me I don't have to put that in the CAM Slot on the TV. Anyway it picked up the Astra Satellite 2a, 2b. I tuned it to LNB Universal 9750-10600 Transponder (84/86) 12479 V274 Picked up True Movies 1/2, Sky news etc. signal strength 90%. When I try and pick up BBC channels, ITV and Channel 4 etc, it says no signal and the signal strength is only at 45%. How can I get the normal channels??? Please tell me what to do we live on a Caravan Park, and the dish is fixed to the towbar so is only a couple of feet off the ground? Do I need to put it on a POLE ? PLEASE ADVISE AS MY WIFE IS DOING HER NUT! |

Re: Some Channels missing
Where are you living, and what size dish are you using?

Re: Some Channels missing
Hmm should be plenty big enough then. You may find some of the frequencies are missing off the receiver in that case.
Have a look at the receiver frequencies stored for Astra 2 and add in any missing: http://www.flysat.com/28east.php
