I have just moved into a new rental way up north in Scotland and the house has no DTV antenna, but has a minidish from the owner's sly subscription - important - he had sly working.
I bought an openbox (cheap one to make sure it would do what I wanted before I invest any real money in - but following the guide it does appear to be genuine?) and have a couple of issues.
I downloaded the sat/TPS list from CWAITEs but don't get any signal on freesat channels (signal 45% and quality 10%).
I can scan the 28.2 sat (added by TPS) and pick up a lot of non-freesat channels (like the jebus channels and sales etc) and can pick up scrambled sly channels, but can't pick up any freesat at all.
I've had a look at dish alignment and as far as I can tell without a tester it is pointing in the right direction and has what looks to be the right skew for my location.
I've tried a test cline and can only get a few scrambled channels to unlock so I'm not sure if I can get all the sly channels - I'm trying to get a few more test lines from different supps but no love yet.
Any tips or pointers what I should be looking at? I'd be happy enough with just the freesat channels to start with, but it looks like i won't be needing a telly licence at this rate..
