Do all your sat positions get stronger if you nudge the dish West ?

If so you would be better adjusting the longitude figure of your usuals settings.

Shave say 0.2 off or add 0.2 and keep going till you fell you have the best signal like 75% on SSPL.

Doing it this way will save fine-tuning every sat. If its just the one sat that is out and that would make no sense then do as above tweak with Diseqc 1.2

I tried adjusting the longitude west by increments as you suggested, i would then move to another sat (19E) and then move back to 28e without success. The Dish is too high up move myself so I will have to find a sat guy locally who can adjust my dish for me.
I can get the Sky sports Channels at the moment and use IPTV for the rest.
Anyone know of a Sat guy in the west midlands?

Use diseqc/usals then and store sats/fine tune them individually.
 
Fine tuning the sat and doing a blind scan still didn't give me the BT sport channels for some reason, is there anything i can do to fine tune. I would set the channel to one that cleared and the fine tune til the signal went up from say 67% to 75%. Save the position and save from USALS to DIRSEQC

Did changing your longitude settings increase your signal

No, changed the settings from 2.1W to 2.7W in increments of 0.2. after every change, i would move to another sat and then move back to 28e. did I not move it enough? With the fine tune, I probably pressed the button about 12 times to get the signal quality from 67 to 75%
 
I would just manually config the sats. Start on 28e and then just work your way back to all the sats you want. Store then with disecq 1.2. I had an issue woth usals as well and wasn’t worth the hassle to fix

Thanks for the advice, but maybe i am not articulating myself well.
The channels I am picking up, i am able to increase the signal quality, that's great, but going up from 67 to 75% does nothing to the picture quality as one would expect. What i want ot know is how do i get the channels that are not showing up. I have outlined the porcess i am using above, am I doing something wrong, is there an obvious step i am missing barring climbing up on the ladder and adjusting the dish myself. Something i lack the expertise and bravery to do?
 
Using the correct settings for tnt 11582 H 23000 & 11686 V 23000 even a TP only scan at 67% should get a hit. Have you tried loading a premade channel list of here , If I get time I could upload mine . Out atm

Just read back I see using hedges list didywirk either

Hi, loading the pre made channel list gives me fewer channels than a blind scan.
With the pre loaded channels only one SS main even channels open. No football, news or PL channels open.

Sorry for the late reply. I have been working away from home all week.

Doble-checked my config, USALS setting correct. Lat and Long confirmed using Dispointer.eu
In Antenna config, All SATS set to USALS for Motor and Universal for LNB type.

I did notice the settings for LNB power for some were inconsistent. Some showing 13V/18V, some 13V and some 18V. What should it be set to?

IS there a way to fine tune the dish myself?

Set all to 13v/18v and 22KHz to Auto
Press F2 to bring up an on screen fine tuning menu where you can move the dish east and west etc. Or in Antenna Config...

Hi, yes, all sats had 22KH set to Auto. a few were not set to 13v/18v and i have remediated them. the one 19 and 28e Sats already had the correct settings

When blindscaning make sure you select "delete existing channels from transponders"

Hi. I don't get an option, but i have in the past and it has made no difference. If I select blind scan with a yes or no. It just starts the scan (which it is doing now)
I have tried individual TP search on the two transponders used for TNT sports. Nothing found whether I select yes or no for network search.

Just to confirm it's the sat position and not the box, i plugged it onto a fixed sky dish and the TNT channels all work and are cleared.

I am now doing a full blind scan and then plug the box into the motorised dish and see if that makes any difference.
when the TNT sports cleared, they were showing as 62% btw

What's the outcome?
 
Full blind scan brought up all the channels on the fixed dish.

plugged the box into the motorised Dish and can't get a lot of the Sky channels and none of the TNT sport so it's definitely the dish alignment
