    The S2X tuner also is supposed to cover DVB-S, and DVB-S2, so you shouldn't need anything extra.
    What image do you have loaded?
    Have you checked the satellites.xml file?
    How have you got the tuner configured?
    Try manual scans setting the correct transponder details.

    Did all channels, and streams, on 5W, scan in?
    Do you have a fixed dish, on 5W?
    You might need to change your image, or update it, but if everything is now working I'd leave it.

    Hardly any Italian channels here Can anyone help me I managed to find 5 West and have a strong signal but few Italian channels (no Rai etc) Whenever I use the satmeter on the receiver to check any Rai frequencies (such as 12.543 H) it sees nothing at all - no signal i.e. no signal I'm using an 80cm dish and a good LNB

    I was wondering if a bigger dish may be needed for the standard Italian channels such as those on 12.543 for instance (if the beam is focused more south)

    Any ideas where I'm going wrong appreciated


    BTW I recently did a factory reset but the box must be at least six years old possibly older TM-SINGLE

    Many thanks

    Paul

    These channels are Multistream, you need a special receiver, to be able to scan them in, and view them.
    Please check the link.
    Code:
    https://www.lyngsat.com/Eutelsat-5-West-A.html
    Try an internet search for satellite Multistream viewing.

    Tanks very much Mickha I will research Multi stream as you suggest May I just ask if one buys a multi stream receiver would one get a channel such as Rai Uno in the clear or would it be necessary to subscribe to such a service or otherwise need additional facilities to view such a service

    What I am asking in essence is if I buy a multi stream receiver is that it e.g. would I have all I need to view such services or is additional equipment software and or subscriptions etc be needed

    thanks again for helping me get up to speed after being out for a long time

    regards
    Paul

    On Lyngsat, as in the link, the channels are listed with a red F, which means FTA, Free to Air, so you should get them with the correct equipment.
    JOE.MADDISON, who started this thread, can confirm if you can receive them, and the quality, of the channels.

    Before investing in a new box it seems sensible to rule out latest enigma 2 images /operating platforms working on my HD Technomate TM Single I have been reluctant to give it a go without advice because the overhead of the latest new platforms may be too heavy for this 400Mhz machine and I don't want to crash my only device

    The computer side of my thinking says why should it not work whilst the practical side says it probably wont I guess I could give the software platform guys an email but I just wondered what you may think first please

    regards

    whatever the make of receiver if it does not have a multistream(s-x) tuner then no way can you scan in the multistream channels,some receivers have plug in tuners,which can be replaced with s-x tuners (mutant 51 is one example)as far as opening encoded channels thats another world of softcam/oscam/cccam and paid for lines.

    What make/model receiver do you have?
    There are other ways, to view channels, programs, including IPTV, Internet Protocol Television, and KODI, providing your broadband speed is fast enough for streaming.
    You can also use a PC card, which slots into your PC, but given the falling prices, of some receivers, this might be a false economy, and it all depends on what you want to view, and how.

    Thanks both of you have a TM Single which is an enigma running an open PLi image platform Following what Joe says I will need to go ahead and probably get the Vu + Zero 4k when I have confirmed the spec / quality and decided which image to have installed. And probably confirmed mulistream functionality wit chosen preferred platform

    If anyone would like to recommend a suitable image platform for a Vu + please do and thank you

    In answer to Mickha's question I am primarily experimenting with multistream and the general French and Italian channels available in that format I am looking to travel in 2020 and am particularly ken to improve my French and find TV useful in conjunction with standard lessons Also I suspect like many folk I am growing tired and weary of the usual what I would call 'dull and grey' mulch UK programming

    many thanks
    paul

    ps cccam decoding is further down my wish list of unresolved curiosity technical issues

    Thanks for helping me get up to speed after a break of many years
