Ok i'm a total newbie to all of this so i apologize in advance for my lack of knowledge.
I bought an old 80cm sky dish with sharp LNB to hook up to my digitview satellite receiver. I have spent 3 days with my father trying to troubleshoot why we are only getting 1% quality signal. we get around 60-70% signal intensity so we assume the dish and cables are ok. (we used a satellite finder when installing the dish and seem to have it in the correct position?)
Anyway last night i was playing around with the LNB and transponder frequencies and found a locked channel with 80-90% quality. I assume this is a sky frequency as i cannot view it.
I have tried transponder frequencies 12483 and 12456 with 22500S/R and Horizontal with 18v power but no luck with freeview. The LNB type is set to standard (i have tried L/O 11300 and 10750), 22KHz is off, DisQue off and no luck. I have used the receiver in our old house so i know it works with freeview.
I hope this makes sense to you guys and hopefully you can offer a tip as to why this is happening?
