SKY HD

[blackcat1]

Hi, we have a sky hd box with subscription. We are in Portugal and have entered the lnb code 12129, but we get a message saying that two recordings are in progress so we cannot access the tv (which isn't the case). Anyone with similar problems/solutions. We have a Camos dish. Lost without the telly :'(

Go into the planner menu i.e. where your recorded programs are, the box is probably trying to record 2 programs that you have got set on "series" and it still thinks you are at home. You could delete those and then try again. We were in the Algarve in January and had an ordinary Sky Box with a Maxview Semitronic Dish and went on the South Beam and got quite a lot of UK programs.

 

This is where to look at the settings:

I tried to copy these but it wouldn't let me.

 

Change the freq to 12129

Transponder 22

 

or try 11817, 12051, 12219, or 11739

 

I think the LNB should be at 18 deg, but not sure, the cable should start at

6 o'clock and you adjust it clockwise.

Thankyou very much for your help. We will give that a go.

Hi, after a bit of fiddling. TV at last. Can't thank you enough. That web page was excellent. We owe you a beer if we cross paths on our travels

:-D

Glad to be of service. We will probably be in the Algarve January/February 2011, fingers crossed.
