TV recection is fine, (signal around 90+%. quality around 60%). Problem is with CLASSIC FM – RADIO channel No.721 (there may be others). Signal level 84% to 86%, but quality around 28% with serious ‘Drop outs’, particularly in inclement weather. Can you help????

I have a Tevion mini satellite system but want to use it to receive Freesat. It this possible without buying a Freesat box?

If your dish was originally set up for Sky it should be fine, When you first set it up did you connect both Antenna cables before doing the installation wizard? If you didn’t the box will only recognize that you have one dish connected, you will need to do a reset of the Box using one of the menu options, it will erase any programme recordings you have set up, not any recordings you have, and then it will reset and you can go from the initial installation again. The box will then recognize both LNB feeds. you will see during the initial recognition process that both LNB feeds have been found.
This should sort your problem.

I have cancelled Sky+HD and just purchased a Humax Freesat HD PVR box.

All works fine…except

When I record on one channnel I cannot change channels to watch another program except for BBC1 this one seems to work fine.

I have twin LMB…it worked fine on sky.

Any suggestions please?

Regards

Your installation instructions should state that ‘dish face would be vertical’ NOT horizontal.

Alternatively, dish AXIS is horizontal.

[...] the likely event that we decide to go for Freesat, the cheapest solution would be to do a complete self-install. However the easiest solution would be to pay for installation of a single-room service. We will [...]
