Hello and Welcome

Make sure you have set LNB type and frequency correctly. Also, if using any switch. After that if you have signal and quality run a Blindscan. The box will find the channel at the sat aimed. From there you can tell if you are properly aimed.

If you are in the UK/EUROPE, you should be able to receive these transponders 12418h 27500 / 12305h 25548 / 12322v 27500 / 12360v 27500
all of which are (powervu), the keys for 12418h 27500 change daily, 12322v/12360v 27500 the keys for these have been changing every few weeks,
12305h 25548 the keys for this have not changed in a while.
All these channels audio is (English), you will have to use Google to find the powervu codes

hi i have tried all this and still dont get anything

oh well suppose just need to return the box etc, thanks anyway

What you could try is remove transponders that are almost the same as the ones you wish to view including ones with different symbol rate and polarity.
What transponders can you get, what size dish have you got

its a 80cm dish

im in glasgow, scotland

[jamesbargains]

Satellite Dish Zone 2- 80CM X 60CM

Add a new satellite, in your case Astra 4,8 ° East. Enter the frequency data according to the information on the nameplate of the LNB in your receiver in the column LNB Frequency (press OK and select, i think its universal 9750-10600). Now do a blind search. Maybe you have targeted the wrong satellite with your antenna, there are still 4 ° East and 5 ° East and they are then almost in the same position. If you have entered the data fit to the LNB you would have to identify after the blind search which transponder he has scanned or which programs he has saved.

Can you let us know what channels you can receive with your (sky dish) from your location.
it is possible that your dish is too small to receive some transponders in your area.

With v7s you can choose a PID Scan ( only one channel - Video-Audio-PCR PID ) mode.
For this you have to create a Satellite first.
You call in your case Paksat 1R.
Then you press the "SAT" key and you are in the transponder menu and press the red button (add Transponder)

!!! Now you enter the suitable transponder data. If that does not work and the receiver shows out-of-range, you will need to enter your correct LNB data first, which you will find on the nameplate of the LNB. !!!!
Now pay attention to the DiSEqC settings. If you only have one satellite, you do not need to enter anything there.
Position the cursor on the desired transponder. press the blue button for search. Cursor to scan mode select Normal or PID. You can find these PID values when you google, or at Lyngsat. I forgot that, please turn off the network search.

Do a scan of the following transponders and tell us what you get,
12306H 25546 DIVA
12418H 27500 SIS
12360H 27500 DISCOVERY
12322V 27500 DISCOVERY
I know that these channels clear with keys, all we would like to know is if you can receive these transponders and what is the signal strength in your area with your dish.
In my area the signal strength on all of the above transponders are 90% but this is with a 100cm dish
Hope this helps you to get what you require.

Have carried out a test with a (SKY DISH) (ZONE 2 SIZE).
Have come up with the following,
12149h 27500 SIS 43%
12418h 27500 SIS(FOOTBALL/RACING FEED) 46%
Other transponders
11766h 27500 39%
12073h 27500 43%
12284v 27500 44%
12399v 27500 43%
When you try to adjust your dish you must raise the dish too it's full height, then swing around to 5e, it will take while, for with it been a small dish
you will have to tweak it in small adjustments.
These results were received with another receiver (TXXXXMATE 5302)
Hope this helps
