Re: Tevion mini satellite system (1 Viewer)

I have had this system for a number of years, but rarely use it. Since most areas are now switched over I find digital services generally ok.

Recently had to set it up, but, found I could not get the same channels I used to.
I believe satellites have changed over the last few years.
I am on the old Astra2AB
What satellite do I need and is it possible to find it on this older receiver? The satellites offered do not seem tone right.

From UK same satellite, same place. You may need to let it retune once you've found the satellite.

quote from satellite info for you;

the free-to-air channels that are currently available via satellite from SES Astra satellites (Astra 2A/2E/2F) and Eutelsat's28A (formerly Eurobird 1) satellite located at 28.2 °E. These are the same group of satellites used for the Sky pay-TV platform and the Freesat free-to-air platform, ...

Hi Phil

In the scroll down list of satellites I can not find the ones you mention. As you probably guess I am lost when it comes to technical things lol

Hi again

The main two channels I want are BBC3 and BBC4

 

[Phill D]

have a look and a read. BBC 3 & 4 are free to air satellite. but when out of uk may suffer depending where you are.
