Hi everyone, satellite noob here!
I've just moved into a new house and the owners have left their sky satellite dish. I've struggled to get freeview on my Sony KD 55xd8005, and I noticed there are satellite inputs in the back, so I've been playing around with getting it working (best way to learn I think). I'm assuming this would be freesat??
Anyway, I've checked the position of the satellite, and I"m confident it's pointing at Astra 28.2º East.
There are 2 satellite cables, and I've plugged both into the MAIN and SUB connectors on the back of TV.
When I do a full scan it picks up most sky channels, and ITV, but I've not managed to get any BBC channels yet.
I've tried narrowing my search using the manual mode.
I've taken 1 cable out and left the other in MAIN and attempted to get BBC One Scotland which I think is on this frequency (see attached image for settings)
I keep picking up these 4 channels (Daystar TV Network, FRANCE 24 HD, TJC HD and Bloomberg HD) instead which seem to be on a different frequency according to this link, then when I swap cables over I get a different 5 channels which are meant to be on this frequency on this link.
Any help at all would be much appreciated.
