Hi everyone, this is my first post. I'm trying to use my old SonicBox PGTV 500 satellite receiver to receive Freeview. Does anyone know if this can be done?

I used to SonicBox to receive Optus D2 channels. The installation was done by a specialist. 

I think the dish is now set in the correct direction. However, I'm having problems with the following settings:




Simply put, I do not know which values to select. 

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I am answering my own question here but all that was involved here was setting the box to 12483 M 22500 [H] transponder frequency.

Everything is very easy after that and just requires some minor tweaks with the dish.

My box was not on the recommended list so settings (or what to do) was not obvious.

Hopefully this will be of some use to anyone who googles this subject.
