I am way down in Spain at Zahora and with my Mobilsat dish and silvercrest freesat box get all free channels but with my 12 volt Pace sky box I cannot get a signal. We did up until about 5 days ago
Has Murdochs lot switched my card off or has my Pace box died ?
Individual boxes cannot be swicthed off.
Individual cards can be swicthed off.
But even without a card inserted the sky box can still receive 200+ free to air channels - in fact the sky box with no card wil get the same FTA channels your silvercrest gets.
But with a sky box you may need ot help it download its channel list by changing the default transponder frequency (services 4 0 1 selected, 2) to another frequency (like 12207) as it may be looking for the download on 11778 which may be unavailable where you are on your sized dish.
But am really surprised you can receive "all free channels" where you are on that dish.... as people with 2.4m dishes are stuggling to get some of the free channels like 4HD, 4seven, some ITV1 and ITV1+1 regions, and "the fives"...all due to these channels moving to the 2f satellite..

We are in Algave region,Portugal..on a 60-65cm dish and we get BBC1 BBC2 channel 4 and 5...and some Itv + chanels .. bbc news Sky news and others
excellent picture
If you have changed the default transponder frequency to 12207, and have the channel list, then it shoud receive all the "free" channels your silvercrest is getting.Thanks I think you are cofirming what I thought, that is my Pace Sky box is poorly.
And you will not get Channel 5 on anything smaller than 1.8 / 2.4m dishes in that area since they moved to 2F. The only way you can get C5 is C5HD, using a HD box and "free to view" sky card.Channel 5 is about the only one that we are missing at present with the Silvercrest freesat box but I did find it necessary to twidle the LNB to about plus 10 degrees

Here in Javea, we get all the channels except the 5's on a 1meter dish and free to air box. :thumb: Bob.
It is expected some Sky chanenl may move to 2f sometim ein the next month or so.We were thinking we would not get anything in Portugal, mind you it may change by the time we get around there in March.
Aligned properly, you should get 5's (and the other 2F channels) in Javea on a 1m dish.
As 1m dish works fine for them between valencia and alicante
It is expected some Sky chanenl may move to 2f sometim ein the next month or so.
Then the next change is when bbc itv c4 and the few sky channels on 1N move to 2E, "mid 2013"
Hi, I have got 5 but it keeps breaking up
friends a couple of pitches down went to Benidorm and got a 1.2m dish and gets all the channels, but it cost him €198. In the UK about £90. oh:
Could you better the price,if so I would pass your details on, because a lot of brits will be looking for bigger dishes. Bob.

Wow now got all my Sky channels back, well not channel 5, but seemingly all the others.
That is down at Zahora with a Mobilsat auto dish approx 85 cm
Had to do a reboot on the box using the service button and keying in 402 and then changing to 12207, apparently if the power goes off to the box it will need rebooting again.
Just checked and signal strength is very good but nothing showing on signal quality but all pictures seem good--------AS YET
