Strange problem - UK Freesat

[SimonP]

I've just had a Freesat dish installed to get the BBC HD broadcasts but I have an odd problem with it.

 

When I scan using either DVBv or Transedit I see over 100 channels, but most are various BBC and ITV channels plus lots of Sky rubbish. I'm not finding channels like Zone, CBS, Aljazeera, M&M, Movies4Men, True Movies, etc.

 

I tried scanning FTA only and All but it's still the same, they're just not there.

 

I'm completely new to Freesat but I can't imagine how 1 dish pointing at 1 satellite can find some channels and not others.

 

Any ideas? Or perhaps someone could send me a channels.inf (or whatever) which includes all the Freesat FTA channels?

 

The signal is nice and strong and my setup has been running Freeview happily for ages so I don't think it's a config problem.

 

Thanks.

Wrong SAT.

Really? I only had it installed last week and made it clear that it was for Freesat. Which one do I need?

You need Astra 28.2°E for Freesat.

On Astra 19.2°E you only get BBC World News and Sky News International and Al Jazeera English

Question answered. The installer definitely told me 19.2E but in fact it's pointing to 28.2E and a rescan has found all the channels.
