Is Showcase gone again

WilliamC

Is the FTA showcase tv channel gone - I cant seem to fine it and there are multiple blogs suggesting different frequencies - none of which seem to work.

I think it could possibly have changed to Keeping it Country or something like that.

Anyone know the story - i have added Keeping It Country but not sure if its the same as its its not a channel I watch but a relative loves it and cant fine it anymore

The Cush

Tuned a FTA box in last night, including the Showcase channels. Channel parameters can be found here

Irish TV changed frequency a week or so ago, it might be that one? It used to lease timeslots from Showcase, IIRC.

It's now at 11224 Horizontal, Symbol Rate 27500, FEC 2/3

Thanks Guys - I noticed also I didnt have 2g in the satellite list just abcde and f so maybe that is the issue. I have a new box Amiko Alien 2 which I am trying to get Enigma working on - so once I have that done will try to add both these.

I'll keep you posted

So on a second look it looks like my receiver only has Astra 2d - I cant see where to add a new satellite.

Anyone know how to add astra 2e 2f and 2g to a Amiko Alien 2 with Spark loaded.

On other boxes there seems to be a satellite.xml thar can be edited but don't see this option with spark

You don't need to add the satellite just do a manual scan of the freq or do an automatic scan and turn on network scan and it will automatically add any new frequency not in its current database.
