Hiya people.
Firstly may I point out that I'm a stroke survivor and the brain isn't as good as it used to be (Iused to be a software engineer!!!)
I have a TV Star S-1000 FTA Satellite receiver connected to an existing Polestat dish that the previous Polish tenants had installed. I also have access to a Sky dish. I've worked out how to do the initial setup and channel scanning, only took a couple of hours!
My main reason for getting the receiver was in the hope of being able to pick up European speedway meetings. However, all I seem to be getting are Arabic and Italian or Spanish type stations!
There is an option to set up a new 'Satellite' by entering values into a screen, but this is confusing me greatly. I can enter the following details:
Satellite name
LNB Type - User, Universal, Standard
Freq1(Mhz) - 5150, 5750, 5950, 9750, 10050, 10600, 10700, 10750, 11300
LNB Power - 13/18v, 13v, 18v
22K - on, off
DiSEqC - off, [port 1, port2, port3, port4
Positioner - off
I also have something called an NIT Search and a PID Search.
In my list of available satellites, of which there appear to be 72, I can see 0192Astra1KR1L1 and 0130HotBird, but not Astra1, or Astra2, etc.
What ~I'm desperately seeking, is an idiots guide to tuning in to other satellites and specifically locating any channels from anywhere that might show Speedway free. As I spend a lot of time at home, due to my disabilities, this would be such a wonderful thing to have.
Here's hoping and many thanks in advance.
