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.


Sounds like in freesat mode it is filtering out channels that don't
match your postcode, you said it didn't have any postcode entered?


Nope


it's filtering them out because they aren't the channels in the FS
Marketing club


No idea why it's not finding the ones it wants though


Is the dish pointing in the right direction, I think Dave said it was
motorised, but presumably that still needs manually setting up first.


Yes. With only one satellite showing in the menu (Astra 28) the setup menu
for 'other' shows 100%. And motor switched off. Think it would be odd if
selecting FreeSat made it move the dish off Astra 28.
