Humax HDR-100s signal problem
Phred
23-07-2014
I have had to move the dish, as trees have caused a complete loss of signal.

I set it up and used a borrowed professional meter to align it. Shows a great signal from Astra using the meter.

However when connected to the Humax - no signal on Freesat mode but a reasonable signal on non-Freesat mode.

Looking at the "editable list" in non-Freesat mode there appears to be no channels being beamed from Eutelsat.

I seem to remember reading that the Freesat EPG is beamed from that satellite, so should I borrow the meter again and try to align it to Eutelsat rather than Astra?

You need to align it between the two. They are very near to each other so my guess id you are aligned to say 28.0E when you need to be aligned to 28.35E.

Look at the values on dishpointer.com as the skew setting are slightly different (unless your meter shows them, when you set the satellite position, which mine does)

Still plenty of channels and the freesat home transponder on 28.5E.
