Sony TV, Satellite setup

Hi, i have a Sony 32" with freeview and freesat built in
I am trying to integrate this in with my existing 3 dish setup via 4 way disecq switch, (which works fine on another sat box)
But the TV refuses to find 19E, it finds Hotbird 13E and Freesat on 28E
I have swapped all cables and done as many scans on every setup avail on the TV as you can
Has anyone any idea whats happening here please, other than poss some incompatibility issue with the disecq switch and the TV.

Many Thanks in advance
Andrew

What model is the set?, there was only one series of Sony Freesat TV's (W5810 a few years back) - the recent sets only have non-UK satellite in them, and require manual tuning.

Hi, its the KDL32W705BBU

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sony-KDL32W7.../dp/B00HZAVAC0

and its wierd as it will find all hotbird and astra 28 and if i force a manual tune on just 1 connected feed (19E) with disecq and nothing else it will detect a live known frequency, identify it as 19E on screen and tune nothing in
if i plug the other 2 dish feeds in again its starts again finds everything then goes back and re loads the previously tuned 28E on a different disecq number !!
I have spent hours on it now, so will leave for a while now, maybe try a straight through connection next to 19E (no disecq) and see what happens
Cheers

Oh and its not freesat anyway, its just FTA receiver, but caters for disecq 1.0 for 4 inputs,
seems to be some form of blindscan but it tells you nothing on screen as its searching so you never really know what its up to !
Other than that its a fantastic piece of kit, (from currys £349), connected it to an old tosh portable HDD and its now HD digi recorder as well, you can watch 1 while other recording or put the TV in standby to record.

never think the obvious with problems ! the disecq switch had gone intermittant, for the sake of £3.50 we are back to normal and the sony receives 3 satellites seemlesly
