Hello there,
first time poster, so bare with me, will try and give as much information as possible.
I am in Dublin, Irl, and renting a house that my landlord already had a satellite dish on side of house, which has 2 LNBs on it.
He is German, so was picking up German channels (I believe on 19.2E), while also picking up Freesat UK channels on 28.2E.
I attached my regular TV via hdmi to the Silvercrest satellite tuner to access the already tuned in channels - incl; BBC, ITV, C4 etc.... (the ones I actually want to watch!), but also had to use an Irish 'SAORVIEW' box, which is Irish FTA service for National stations.
Anyway, in an effort to upgrade, and at same time get rid of the Saorview Box, the Sattelite Tuner - and the need to use so many remotes!...... I bought a LG 42LA620V-ZA smart3d. This can tune in Analogue and Sattelite.
And here is my issue.
On 'Auto Tune', the TV will pick up about 1600 channels, French, German, Italian, Russian etc etc.....
BUT: NONE of the UK Channels I want.
So.... I went about manually tuning the channels, one transponder at a time, using the transponder details from this list: Packages: Freesat - KingOfSat
I did this very successfully last night, which took a couple of hours to get every channel I wanted (all the BBCs, ITVs, +1s etc..), and sorted into the right order on TV etc.... I could view every channel, look great, and I though I had finally got everything sorted.
HOWEVER.... once I turned TV off, and then on again..... none of the channels would work, although they still appeared tuned on on the TV, appear on the menu... but just not viewable.
SO MY QUESTIONS:
1. What on earth am I doing wrong?
2. Is this unique to LG?
3. What can I do to save the settings?
4. Has anyone else had this experience?
5. Is it because my Smart TV is set up to be in Ireland?
I am lost now, and so frustrated that I feel like throwing the bl**dy TV out the window!
Any help/sugestions would be gratefully received!
