Most digital receivers have an LED or onscreen indicator for sync. If this is off, make sure your transponder frequency and sample rate are entered correctly. Make sure you are using the correct polarity, and LNB band if applicable. If the LO in your LNB is off frequency, you may be able to get a lock by entering a transponder frequency 2 or 3 MHz above or below the actual. If the sync indicator is on, and you still can't get the program, it may be encrypted with a system for which you have no CAM. Check lyngsat, satcodx, or a recent satellite TV magazine. Some signals don't have an accurate directory - you may need to enter the PIDs manually. If your receiver doesn't permit this, you are out of luck. 73, Stewart ----- Original Message ----- From: "hamilton mal" To: Sent: Saturday, May 17, 2003 12:45 PM Subject: LF: SAT Very little acty this weekend so far on LF so I am fiddling about trying to RX digital Sat TV with little success so far. The only tuning aid that I have is the bargraph on the TV but its not very good. Does anyone know what sort of meter is normally used for alignment purposes, and the cct info so that I could make one. I can RX norm sat TV with out a problem but the digital is very critical. I did get one indication on the bargraph that gave me a transport nr and a network id 013e (is that the sat posn) Any info appreciated. 73 de Mal/G3KEV
