Using USALS or DiseQ?

Most common mistake with USALS would be to enter your latitude as being East instead of West.

using diseq was a bit of with dish elevation have it sorted now

hi lads more help required i had all up and goin but for some strange reason i have lost signal on astra 19 transponder 1 (12.515 H /22 ) which is the main one i want i have tried tweaking the dish but to no help all the other 80 odd transponders are 96%+ very strange, also cant get hispasat 30w

Ive problems getting onto 19e sometimes too but i push on to Astra 23e then back and all is good.

What channel exactly do you require and i'll check, on thor 1 I pick up BBC WN with ease but have to move the dish 1 notch (west) in Options to get Digi tv. Try that on 19east m8 that could do it

m8 my sat is picking up 12.515 H at a booming 82%

In Dublin.

You sure your Position Setting is bang on??

every thing seems ok now if i go up a channel to another transponder and back down its there think its box giving me false reading, upgraded software and all is ok now

Good stuff m8

Technomate 5000 series are excellent boxes but some seem to do this on some TP's. No idea why , but often see it.
As you found out go past it and go back and you're sorted.
