Just after a bit of guidance having made the decision to ditch sky and have returned their STB etc. I have a rudimentary understanding of what is needed and had previously used an Echostar box in Europe with various satellites some years back. Still have Echostar box in fact.
Trying to set up the new TV for Freeviw channels using the built in decoder. And think I have a setting wrong somewhere.
Anyhow, I still have a dish and dual LNB on roof pointed at Optus D1.
The TV is a Samsung UA32K5500ASXNZ. It has a built in satellite decoder with options for multiple satellites and fully configurable for Transponder freqs (set to 12483MHz), LNB oscillators (have tried both at 10750 and 11300MHz) and the 22500KHz tone ON.
When doing a channel scan through the setup I can select Terrestrial (I know that isn't it), Satellite or Freeview Satellite.
If I just select Satellite as the input and run the scan it detects 2 TV channels and when selecting them I can see both the SKY D3 LNB test and the OPTUS test pattern.
If I select Freeview Satellite as the input and run the scan I get no channels at all. I do see a channel list (TV1, 2 etc) but without any signal on them. I think that list is being populated from firmware ain that it expects to see that channel list from the Freeview Sattelite selection.
Of note is that when running a channel scan regardless of which of the two satellites I choose I see no signal indicated on the signal quality bar in the setup screen.
There are two coax cables from LNB. One goes to upstairs where I am and the other downstairs which is unused. Both have F type connectors of course. Are the two cables carrying different signals or is it just a parallel output.
Pretty sure I have just got a setting wrong.
Any guidance appreciated.
Cheers,
Zap
