    It's not on the Freesat epg, you have to use non freesat mode (or whatever fta mode is called on your box) and it must be able to specify the right fec

    10936 V DVB-S2 QPSK 23000 8/9

    SID is 3855.

    Hi , yes I did realise that it was Non Freesat - I guess I worded my question none too well.

    Thank you for the info - much appreciated!

    On Astra 1F I can only get the FEC to go to 5/6 and no higher - any advice please?

    Which box, seems some aren't capable of specifying 8/9 - hence my comment. It's OK on a Humax box.

    If you can only get the FEC up to 5/6 the chances are you have it set to 8PSK instead of QPSK, also make sure you are in DVB-S2 not DVB-S, not all parameters are available in all modes.
