Cool mate, I knew a few years ago i made a l shaped pole but welded it wrong and it was leaning east. Once i peaked on thorn by the time I got to 42 east the signal was two far out.

Just to give you an idea regarding the trees I'm fighting against with my install.Has you can see there's some big ones,now I'm guessing when the house is sold the trees to the left of the garage will be taken out along with the garage.The only ones they can't remove is the 2 big ones but even taking the others out should open it up for my dish to pick up better signals and Hopefully more sats.Due south for me is through the gap of the trees,the fella next door to that garden loses his sat signal come summer once the trees start growing leaves

I have same issue with sound no picture on some of mine, I assumed it would be something along the lines of encryption keys required and never looked further into it. Would be interested to know the correct answer as well, Fair play to you toffee for your perseverance my dish would be a birdbath if I hadn't fluked the set up early on I certainly haven't got your level of patience.
tbf i was seriously on the verge of throwing it on the tip i was getting that mad,but the wife moaning and gloating 'yet another waste of money venture' i was determine to get it set up just to prove her wrong

There's thousands of channels across all satellites - a euro line will only clear a small percentage of them. Whereas in the uk, it's only really S*y that offer packages via satellite, a lot of other countries have multiple providers offering satellite services and a euro line will only clear some packages on those satellites.
Glad you're up and running toffee - it's very rewarding when it's done. I need to replace the cable on mine as I used crap cable (I should have known better) so got a reel of cable here ready to do it - as long as it's done before footy starts back up again, it's not a problem :)

i noticed when i was messing with mine,one of the cables for my sly box was a mess,got water in it when i flicked the cable so i need to get that replaced soon as.I've disconnected it at the moment but i think its a twin cable that sky put in,it goes over the roof so i think i need to tie the new piece on and pull it over the roof hopefully

I used to do motorised so read this with a bit of interest. I go back a long way and one vital aspect is the 3 dot rule, you have to imagine dish, motor and lnb is a gun, from behind dish all 3 have to be in a dead straight line. A good lnb works wonders, the best is black ultra, good cable is a must, a receiver with a sensitive tuner, and clear line of sight to the south is a given, also clear rooftops, a good sized dish, bigger is better, a good motor. With that the rest is down to the installation. It has to 100% correct.
toffee, can you say size of dish, is pole mount with t&k brackets, make of motor, make of lnb, and receiver, i think its openbox.
with usals its a lot easier these days but if dish is crooked, set up ie pole not exactly straight, dish not level, fixings can make dish crooked, counting thread on bolts so they are the same is a help, dont have eveything tightened too much until the end, markings on dishes and motors are not accurate, so thats what tweaking does. A lot of people forget about tuning the lnb ie the focal length, this is where you move lnb in and out to get best signal and you have do do it on a vertical channel and a horizontal. I use the signal strength on the box. If you cant get 0.8west, you can use 28east, but you must start dish from due south ie 12 midday tell dish to go to 28east, then turn whole rig until you get sky news, there is a gap when signal hits dish and gets to receiver so pause. In the end if the rig is out you struggle.

thanks for the reply....li think you are missing the point here mike142 im not looking for softkeys or links if you have have a list of channels which are compatible to 28.2 then lets gather them up put them in a list from different satellites which we are able to decode and watch and which would be beneficial to everyone with the codes frequencies etc, maybe its the wrong thread or does anyone get my point?the links you posted here or rather sent me theres **** all on them and in a language i dont understand i know audio can be changed on some but can we concentrate on the uk channels?

Read your post carefully--there are no other sat channels that can be watched on 28.2e
Yes there are many channels on other sats that can be watched in english and there are channel lists available but your dish must be moveable and box retuned and scanned.
You cannot just install a single channel list to cover all sats--each sat req's it's own list.

Your original post was for a list of channels "that can be opened in powervu/irdeto or other means", those links have codes that open many channels for free, - AFN (US TV & Sports), Discovery Channels, SIS, MUTV, ESPN, so there's not F all on them, you had an earlier post about getting the bookies channels so you must know about Powervu.
What you should have posted was for a list of Euro Card Sharing channels, (channels that can be opened with a Euro Sub).
If I get a few hours tonight I might put together a list of Documentary channels and frequencies available on all Satellites.
@reaper ,,maybe im not explaining this correctly i know i cant have a single sat list for multiple satellites,what i am trying to say is if we compile a list lets say for instance documentries on 4.8e and sly sports on xx.0e and movies on x.0w all the channels that we lost on 28.2 are available its just compiling from different satellites.
hi mike142 yes you are correct i have many channels open on differenet satellites,i think you have the jist of what i was saying about compiling the channels that was lost on sly,,

Go to www.lyngsat.com where all sats are listed---there you can go thru each sat and note the ones with an english audio/or ablity to change to english audio. List them down and compile your directory--I did this many moons ago for my old forum, took ages but members fully appreciated it and used it but a member of another well known site stole the idea and took full credit so I stopped editing it and it has since disappeared.
Tip--start with the most widely used sat [a lot of people still have fixed dishes not motor system]
so 19.2e is now very popular--then 23.5e etc etc

I finished the list of Documentary channel frequencies, I don't suppose it will get many views but it might be of use to someone.
