Hi,

I write to seek help. I got rid of sky subscription. I had bought myself a Freesat V8 Golden: a DVB S2 and a DVb-T box. Connected it to the sky antennae. Yes, the box and dish can see Optus D1.

I am trying to set this up -- but end up with only 4 channels. Done this multiple times -- without success.

Maybe someone with more experince than me in setting up these Freesat / PC boxes can guide me on the settings.

Please help -- before the boss (wife) kicks off for wasting money.

Hi Bigglz,

The four channels I can get are:

firstlight
choice
prime
maori

I can see many others are "loaded" but cant view them

Are you seeing those channels from DVB-T or DVB-S?

If DVB-S, then those channels are spread across all the transponders you need, so you should be able to get all the other Freeview channels OK.

Perhaps posting the settings you have entered for both the DVB-T & -S config.

DVB-S only. I do not have a DVB-T aerial in the house that I have rented -- they say that this is a black spot and no signal comes here.

will have to dig out the settings and come back.

I'd suggest doing a scan of Optus d1. It lo Is like you are seeing the transponders you need, just not the channels. There should be a satellite scan or similar option.
