I have an echostar D2510-IP Viaccess reciever with a motorised 1m dish in Manchester. i can recieve hotbird, astra, 16E and a few other satellites, but when i move to Thor 1West, there's no signal. Is there any way i can search for this satellite and set it correctly and get a signal as i may have accidently changed the settings to where it is positioned on my reciever. im not sure though. i tried moving it right and left a few degrees but still nothing. i also put in some frequencies of some channels and searching, but again nothing.

Try it in stages, go from Hotbird 13E, to Eutelsat W1 10E, to Sirius 5E and then to Thor 1W.
If you work out how far you're moving your dish you should find it, just notice how far it goes when travelling 3 degrees 13 -10, 5 degrees 10-5 and finally 6 degrees 5E-1W. |
