Oyster Satellite + Alphatronics TV - no Joy.

[CookieUK]

We have Alphatronics retractable TV connected to Oyster V Sat system . Found Astra 2 . TV searches Astra 2 and finds 97 channels, but I cannot seem to store the fruits of the scan . only visible option after search is complete is EXIT.
Then selecting source “satellite” on TV defaults to Hotbird & no channels found. If I knew how to save the Astra channels post scan & discovery - I feel we might make progress . Oyster support are good but they can’t help any on aalphatronics.
UK support for TV ?

Bumping up for you

I don't know anything about the specific TV, but have you set it to the correct country, primary region and secondary region and then 'saved' them ( if those functions are available of course)

I had s similar issue with Bush make of TV

Does the TV work ok through a standard TV aerial?

1. Select Satellite with source button.

2. Select Auto tuning

3. Select normal scan

4. Select Astra 2

5. Select blind scan mode

6. Select search

thanks,great to see familiar screens. i have been on that journey and the scan finds xx channels , but then there is no evidence of any way of saving those channels. the only UI offered is “Exit“ and when i exit and start up,again, the blasted thing defaults to Hotbird satellite, which i had tried to connect to whilst in S Spain.

Had that setup in our old van and had a few problems can’t remember what I did but I’m sure there is a factory reset in the menu worth a try and start a fresh

Have you got the instruction manual for the TV?. I looked at their website thus https://www.alphatronics.de/en/support/operating-instructions,43/ which allowed you to download manuals.

Do you have to select the satellite from the satellite controller box? Just a guess.

 

[Ian Bosman]

Set your TVPlayer to the input connection from the decoder then search for all the channels on the decoder only. This is how it works for me on my Tevion decoder

 

[Ian Bosman]

Just a thought, is the a built in decoder on the tv as you have satellite options on the screen

got it thanks, idk but it feels like there may be conflict between 2 systems both trying to select a Particular satellites. idk which is dominant and how to over ride it.

We might be more able to help you if you told us the model number of the TV, having told us the make. I believe that what i said in post #10 is that you should not try setting it up from the TV satellite system (although i do wonder if the TV has a built in decoder). Is there a connector at the back which has screw threads on for you connect the dish direct to the TV (BNCtype), if so try that method and put aside you decoder, or setup the satellite only from the decoder not the TV, my TV is set up with the AV input used from the decoder
