i just joined the forum and i have just bought a Ross HD satellite reciever!!!!
it is working perfectly fine with my old sky minidish and picking up all the uk free to view channels.
only issue now is that i thought i might as well use the 65cm dish that came with the kit as a dish to pick up foreign satellite channels and i am struggling.
the dish is now mounted and it is pointed at the astra 2/euro satellite @ 28.2 e with a signal quality of about 54% while also getting a similar signal quality on astra 1h 1m 1l at 19.2E but when i scan for channels, it only returns free to view uk channels. From checking the channel list @ www.lyngsat.com
i was of the believe that i should be able to pick up the free to air foreign channels on the list.
i know it should be able to pick up foreign channels as this was
Option to receive 1,000's of FOREIGN Language channels from all over the world
on the box
The reciever has 10 preset satellites, the astra 1h, Hotbird, turksat,astra 2, eurobird2, asiasat, and some more.
the reciever's manual
my questions and issues are
1.How can i get the foreign channels (preferably czech/slovak channels) i know they are mostly on the Astra 3b satellite (i know i will need to add this satellite but i am not sure of the exact parameters and how they fit in with the recievers setup)
other satellite suggestions for foreign channels will be appreciated
2 Can i use a splitter to connect both dishes into the reciever?
