    Default Settings for Skybox F5S and D2?

    I cant figure out the correct settings on my new F5S box to get D2.

    One website said this
    Freq - 12608, Pol - Horizontal, SR - 22500, CR - 3/4

    BUT... I cant set the freq as high as that and theres no "3/4" setting, I have seen that type of setting on other boxes though.
    Im using the "add satellite" page.

    Ill post a pic of the UI on my screen and perhaps someone can help me out.

    Ok I found a "transponder list" setting. Ive been able to select 12644 and 22500 in there, plus the H.
    I still dont know where the 3/4 setting is found though. Its now got a transponder in the above screenshot area and its lists as 1/1.

    Is D2 also called K_Astra?
    Because that sat is working and I have tuned via a blind scan.

    If you done a blind scan and you were facing D2 and found the channels from D2 then you are right except the satellite name will be wrong.

    You should be able to edit the name by going to satellite list and pressing the red button if your menu is the same as my S9 openbox.
