Default Please help, FTA channel problem!!

Hi Guys,

I purchased a Technomate 5200D from a member here to receive the FTA channels on Astra2 (and Eurobird1) located at 28e.
The channels scan fine, and the box is great.
The problem I have is that Asian channels like NDTV are showing one min and not the next. When I do re-scan, I pick up some new channels and loose some which I had working previously.

Could this be an issue with how my dish is aligned? Could the dish have moved or is it me doing something wrong?

Any help and advise will be much appreciated.
Thanks

Check the signal quality on that transponder, how does it compare to the min quality required to get a picture.

For example on my TM1000 super, I know that 66% is the min needed, but I expect to get at least 75% from a minidish on 28E.
