I have Hauppauge WinTV PC and trying to get the freeview channels in my country New Zealand. I have got a Sky TV Dish 60cm and the LNB has 4 connections. I use one for my sky box and one cable goes to my Hauppauge WinTV pc card.

I can not seem to work out what the LOF1 and LOF Switch and LOF2 are any ideas?

Thanks

OK, those settings from the Sky decoder look exactly as expected. They show an LOF of 10750 (10.75 GHz), and tone on (22 kHz) switches the LNB to 156 degrees (C1/D3). That means the dish is pointing where it should be, and the LNB LOF is what we thought it was.

The following should work:

LOF1 10750

Switch : 12750 (or anything higher)

LOF2 10750 (shouldn't matter, as it should never switch to this).

Are there any other settings available? Have you tried a manual scan?
