Hi,
Reading what others are receiving makes me think(dangerous), that I may be "looking" for channels the wrong way. My new SV8000HD has many sats I can choose from for scanning for channels. The problem I have found is when one of these satellites listed is listed for a certain location. Example: 129 degrees. OK, I pick that one, set the disq--- switch to 3(that is where that lnb is hooked to and confirmed to picking up 129) and discover I have zero quality. Only get quality on a very few of the transponders. What I pick up is several "local" stations with call signs. Others have strange names that make no sense. I do pick up a very few of the channels one would really like to look at. hbo, tmc, disc, spike, but not many of them. Checking with Lynsat I should get much more that I do. Any ideas as to what is wrong?
