Hi Everyone

My friends lnb died on their dish, was a standard sky dish but they had a 90cm dish lying around so we chucked that up on the roof, I used a sat tuner and after picking up a million random dishes I think we've found the right sat.

The problem is only around half the channels work, for example we dont have channel one, two works, three doesn't, prime does etc. Most of the movies channels work, sport 1 and 3 dont but sky sport 2, espn, tab, track and rugby channel do.


Anyone aware of what the problem is? Do I need to fine tune it more or is it something else?

Might be the skew .. when looking at the lnb front on ... try rotating the lnb to the left or right.

Why don't you ring Sky ?
That's what you pay them for.

Cheers I'll give that a go.

Lets assume that's not an option.



Edit: Thanks Geekguy! It was the skew angle, all working now.
