| No major transponder frequencies changes, but perhaps since last year, the fact that some transponders have moved satellites may be the problem..
12207 is no longer on the easy to receive south beam of Astra 2b (2b was cleared of channels and is now at another location) , but is now on the 1n European beam.
So its reception will be different to what you may have been used to.

But if struggling, use another frequency that is still on an Astra 2A south beam...
12285 V 27.5 2/3 12051 V 27.5 2/3
that should easily be available even on a small dish...
If you cannot get the box to get the date and time and download the channel using those, then you have some system issue - be it dish alignment, lnb, cabling, or you are on the wrong satellite!
But remember to unplug the box from the power each time you try a different default transponder frequency, as constantly changing tit without rebooting may "block" the box.

| Dont forget what Frank said , the Marjal site has Sat point on pitch and you will need a 10m ish sat cable to connect and get a lot of channels | |

You can use ordinary tv coax or the higher spec single satellite coax and what Frank is saying is that you will need these connectors [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] | |

| Do you not think we will need some of these connections as well to be on the safe side. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
