if its a sky uk mini dish its likely pointing towards 28.2 east unless it has been moved. how old is the dish and have you used it before for example with a sky uk receiver ?.

as for setup just follow judge's instructions in post 19 above.

The sly dish is about 3years old.. Works perfectly fine with sly hd box

 

[Larry-G]

In that case it's pointed towards 28.2 east so select that in your tuner settings.

Cool now working...but my international free channels are not working.... Blank screen, why is that?

 

[Larry-G]

Which international free channels ? remember that some channels while free still require a sky card to be present in order so that you can watch them these are called FTV or free to view channels.

 

[rafter_01]

Ok no probs... Even channels like channel 5 hd are not showing?

Some channels are not showing as full screen, why is that

 

[Larry-G]

you may need to update your bouquet ( channel lists ) on the receiver. as for channels not displaying as full screen, that depends on the format the channel is broadcasting and the program being shown at the time. for example all old episodes of the simpsons broadcast with thick black bars down each side on the HD channels. You can adjust some settings to help ( cant think of the exact ones rite now as i'm at work and not near a receiver ).

 

[Larry-G]

And for the record CH 5H D is not free to air it is encrypted and FTV.

Blue Button > Vix > Install Local Extention > Green Button.. > Restart GUI ...??

Now I'm part of someone's server but all channels don't work, for eg sly sport 1 doesn't work but sly sports 2,3,4 works...

You need to go back & read the rules you agreed to when you joined the forum.
You won't get help with non local cards here.

Hi,

Hello to everyone, seems like a brilliant forum

Thank you

 

[Larry-G]
