Hello...im from Taranaki.

Im resetting my Fortec Star Box...so I can watch freeview at least...im connected with a small standard sky dish.

Im not an expert..but i can set manually the frequency ...Symbol rate....Polarity.

So my question....what are those numbers for my region???


At the moment ....playing with my box....i did fund sky channells....SBS Australia.....but im just looking for the Free NZ channells.

Thanks!!!!!

mm1352000: Right, so the correct LO for that LNB is 10750.
Those particular LNBs have started to die across the country. As they die the LO can vary, especially with temperature. I guess the dish alignment or LNB skew could also be wrong... but more likely the LNB is dying.
At present your LNB LO seems to be roughly -13 MHz out, which means all the transponder frequencies have to be adjusted by +13 MHz. Try scanning 12469 H 22500, 12496 H 22500 and 12684 H 22500, but probably better to plan on getting a new LNB in the very near future. Sky should replace for free if you are a Sky subscriber.

PS: that LNB can receive C1 when 22 kHz tone is active, so make sure the 22k setting is set to "off" or the LNB switch frequency (possibly available where you enter the 10750 MHz LO frequency) is set to 12750 MHz.

     


Hey Guys...THANKSS!!!!

As you said...i tried 12496...and pop!!!!
