Default FreeSat.

I'm well out of my depth here.

Set gives you the choice of FreeSat or other. The FreeSat mode has no
choices or settings - just tune. Doesn't even show signal strength. And
finds nothing. Takes about 1/2hr to tune too.

The 'other' is much like the menu on my satellite STB. Allows you to
select the satellites you want, etc.

With only Astra 28 selected, it shows 100% both signal and quality. You
can select the test frequency so I selected 10773H which includes BBC1
London, and that shows 100/100. I can step the dish 5 steps either side
before losing the signal.

Do an autotune, and I get about 1000 channels. All German or French.

I've tried manually adding the transponders given in the FreeSat list, but
it says already present.

DisEQ is off.
