I am hoping someone can point me in the right direction!!
I have a flat satellite dish - bought some years ago but only used occasionally. Don't know what make it is - there's no identification on it but photo below gives you an idea of what it looks like. Was working OK last year as far as I can remember. The dish has "Easyfind" technology and works in conjunction with our Avtex DRS TV.
We are currently on a CS near Malton - normal digital signal is rubbish (probably due to Bilsdale still not being fully operational) - hence the satellite dish.
Although it has found the Astra 2 satellite - I couldn't get any channels at all despite the info in the setup programme telling me it was locked onto Astra 2.
The only message I got on screen was "No - signal - Retune". I wasn't previously aware that that was an option with satellite channels - but I did it and it found over 130 channels. Trouble was - after I eventually found them - starting at Channel 100+ (nothing before that) - they were all German programmes!!!! Perfect reception, though - but since I don't speak German - not a lot of use to me.
Can anyone tell me what's gone wrong - or, more likely - what have I done wrong????
Many thanks
Richard
(I'm hoping, perhaps, peedee will be able to put me right given his previous excellent knowledge of matters satellite!)
