    What are you hoping to get off C1?

    Check Lyngsat for correct TP Frequency & SR (Symbol Rate)


    Here is D3 just in case

    You're not gonna get much without a Fox or VAST card in their respective Fox or VAST box.

    BTW have you set the correct LNB LO on your box to match the Dish LNB??
    Cheers, Tiny

    try changing symbolic rate to 27800 (not 27500)

    also try scanning the FTA channels

    INFO 156E 12407 V 30000

    Al Jazeera 12135 V 27800

    NITV 12527 V 30000

    TVSN 12478 H 27800

    FOXTEL HELP 12438 H 27800

    (Channel / Transponder Frequency /horizintal or vertical Polarization / Symbolic Rate)

    I have an old Foxtel dish here I'm now hoping to use for VAST for the motorhome.
    Originally I couldn't pick up a signal either. Just bought a new 10700 LNB and now its working fine (about 90% strength and 75% quality).

    Now I'm just waiting on them to activate the card so I can watch more than just CH800-802...
