ok son in law has a s*y +box in his dinning room he wanted to get sentata package and so subscribed to it ,they told him he was on but when he went into his channel list and pressed sentanta 1 it came up saying no satalite signal so he foned them they told him to do something to get it working think it was manual input??but it was in his new found list ,does he have to scan for all these channles or does he tell them to f*** off ????and how does he go about getting them all scanned and into his channles list ?

setanta can be funny some times there was alot of people having probs with it it might be the way his dish is set up there was lots of probs with this before what receiver is it he has

im not saying you have tryed this or not just trying to work out what you have, has he tryed the box on different feeds in different rooms did he buy the sky+ box of sky and can he get satanta on the hd box as it could be a receiver problem but as satanta say it can be a dish prob im just trying to work out were i seen the post about it being a dish proble before

Also if he can he could try the receiver in a friends house better if they have satanta working then he will know if its a dish problem and not receiver as this can happen from what i saw dont know if they still do but in the post i saw it said satanta is on Eurobird at 28.5E and most of skys stuff is on 28,2 yes you will still get satanta but as you say sky did not put the dish up so it might just need a bit of a turn not much but there is some posts of this on the net were people have had this problem with a fixed dish

i managed to get sentanta one but what i done was we changed settings and got them thro manual scan but cnat remember what we done lol i dug settings for the whole sentanta package off sat kings and may have to amnually put them in the only problem with this is that they are not in the sky planner and you cant record from this set up when you do that
