Hi - Just want to know if anyone could tell me how to program free to air channels on my select tv box. It says on their website that they are available but give no instructions on how to do it!

go to this page for the channels and frequencies etc Intelsat 8 at 166.0°E - LyngSat you most likely will have to enter the correct details manually, i dont have the select box so i dont know the menu, but something like scan sat, scan transponder, on that page the ku channels are 12,286hz and up, the free ones are yellow

G'Day,
It would seem that we may have mis-understood your original post.
What is your setup, is it a self install?
What is your dish antenna and LNB?
Is it pointed at the PAS8 Satellite and getting their tuning channel.
If you don't know what the hell I'm talking about, I'll try and help you, but I do need to know exactly how much you do know.
Also this thread needs to be moved to the correct forum, probably "Newbies".

Kindest Regards, " The Druid "......

G'Day,
If you can answer the questions that I previously posed, then we can take it from there.

Default pas8

to answer beer4life quest. i am learning but catching on to things...too many hours searching within forums.
it is a self install and all are working, however my level of understanding is past the novice stage. i do get the free to air but for some reason the future channel is a bad signal, it seems that the transmitting/receiving is weak. however all other free channels are coming through d2, intelsat, etc.

Do you know which Sat you are pointing at?
With a basic dish, you can only look at one at a time.
What LNB are you using?
What have you set your STB antenna menu at?

Talking Novice? Perhaps not. Naive? Almost certainly.

G'day Cobber,
It may not be anathema to your ears, but our opinion is otherwise.
The paucity and brevity of your intercourse suggests that you are trying to pull the wool over our eyes or perhaps that you are not as erudite as you would wish. Unless we are privy to all aspects of your setup, we're at a loss to assist you with your quandary.

Kindest Regards, " The Druid "..... .....

rochoppa you are correct a newbie in the newbie section is not to burnt for what they say. I would like to help but have no idea what you are trying to ask, you mentioned a number of sats earlier in the thread but how are you able to recieve them, do you have a motorized dish or multi LNBs? please explain your set up dish type LNB set top box motor or no motor etc.

G'Day again,
What we are going on about is you're thinking that we are clairvoyant. We need to know what your setup is to be able to answer your questions subjectively. So far the answers that you have given are nonsensical.
For a start "MySat" is a Lebanon Provider transmitting on several satellites.
Tell me how are we to know which?
What I've highlighted in the first quote is a mixture of info that makes no sense at all.
OK, answer the questions as they are asked and you will get intelligent answers to your problem. Otherwise you are just wasting our time better spent helping others that try to help themselves.
Check the previous posts and answer, I do hate having to repeat myself.
Regards, " The Druid "........
