The satellites ive scanned are:
freesat 28.2e
astra 1 19.2e
astra 1e3a 23.5e
astra 2 28.2e
eurobird1 28.2e
sirius 5.0e (is this normal?)

Thanks in advance for any help/advice
Errm, Since you only have one dish, non-motorised with a single LNB on it, you can only get one satellite. You can scan them all you like, but you still won't receive from them

The confusion arises because many of the transponders details are shared accross many satellites. So all you are in fact doing is re-scanning 28E, and that is why all the scrambled channels are coming up as NDS, as that is the only encyprion method used on 28E.

PLonk some more LNBs on the dish, or motorise it and you're in business.

ah...thats what i was beginning to think...as the same channels kept reappearing. The box actually telling me that i was getting signal and quality on diff satellites got me thinking i could recieve from them...ah well not to worry i will play with what ive got for now, maybe look into the lnb's later. thanks for that!
