    Help Which sats?

    Hi Guys, finally got my dm 500c working again. Long story, but i had to jtag it, then build a null modem cable to bring it back to life. Anyway, done a full sat scan, but there r loads of channels, some that r not for me. So my question is which sats do u use? Also When i edit the bouquets it dosnt save for some reason ( something i need to play with ). Cheers.

    Your dm500c has a satellite tuner in it, I take?

    I am currently using 13e, 19.2e, 28.2e. More than enough channels for me, although I only use it for Sport. I don't watch any thing else on it.

    13e and 19.2e are great for football.

    I can find every game, usually in HD and with English commentary.

    I get Viasat on a 90cm dish in Lancs. Some are black (not subscribed to them) and some are missing audio.

    At the moment Viasat Nature East FSS is perfect

    edit

    snr averaged at around 63% on Viasat Nature East FSS. A lot of other channels am getting 31%

    Just to clarify, I can't get the Norge or Sverige channels because they are covered by what's called the Nordic beam, I get whatever's on the Europe beam where 80cm is ok. You just need a quality signal of about 40% and above, obviously the higher the better.

    p.s. apologies for the blockiness, it's through the web interface.

    They might not be broadcasting if you have the signal it will work if you have a subscription to the channel
