You can always do a factory ( original ) reset

i would concentrate on getting a signal on 28.2 first ,,,,it is the strongest sat in your location ,,,,,once you get that sorted you can send the motor to the highest sat on the arc in your case thor ,,,and fine tune to get the max signal,,,,the rest should fall into place after that,,,,,,,,,do you have an inline signal meter as these can be a big help....also always unplug power to your receiver before disconnecting the co ax cable as this can damage the lnb..

this new dish is about 2 feet away from our fixed sly minidish.as echelon pointed out,i should install motorised chan list as opposed to the sly fixed list.even tho i have fixed list,shouldn't it have picked up something parked on 28.2.i must have had that almost pointing there when looking at our fixed dish,which works well.i do have a cheap signal meter,but i thought box itself would be good enough meter.maybe i am wrong.

thought new motorised chan list would overwrite old fixed list.everything else seems to work fine.motor drives ok.i'm impressed with that.very quiet running even if i cant watch corry lol.

[echelon]

yes it should have picked up bbc1 or itv etc , assuming that lead was ok, but I advised you to install a motorised list yesterday and so todays comments were on the silly assumption by me that you had followed my advice yesterday, clearly not !

anyway, I have just found and uploaded some jan 2012 lists here for you

https://www.satpimps.co.uk/showthrea...0-Channel-List

once installed you can easily connect your cable to the sly lnb and just test 28.2e , then connect to the black ultra and try and pickup bbc1 making sure you have input your usals location once more

once you have that , mark up the motor and dish, then send to 0.8w and look for those thor channels

you are a star echelon and i have bruises from kicking myself for not logging that thread.heads in a spin.but i will get there.gonna get that channel list.thank you so much.

[beany1]

perhaps when you are sorted out and you have a good motorised list you could save it to usb stick, zip it up and upload it on here for us in the tm5000 section ?

I will then merge it with those others I posted in the 6000 section

glad to see youve got your setup up and running,,,,,,time to start scanning the skies.........................goo d luck

[beany1]

thanks voyager.the weird thing about this is level reading 97% and quality saying 8%-9% in motorised setup on sats.could the inline meter have something to do with this.started at 1w ann picked up bbc news fine.kept recalibrating meter until screaming.locked up and tried 28.2.signal there 86% when pressing info on channel.weird.

well done mate similar style house to mine except slate tiles instead of your pebble dash so nothing decent to fix too ,i imagine you could have knocked big chunks out of those walls if you attempted to drill into it.did that a few times working for sly,i had to fill up with mastic and stick a few stones into it and scarper:o11:

[beany1]

yes.beleive it or not the pebble dash only sits on a layer about 1/4" thick.behind that are insulation sheets 4" thick.then blockwork.you need long screws/bolts to reach blockwork,but tightening would easily pull the exterior skin in,hence scaffold pole.poles,i should say.two joined together.
