weldted Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Hi we have an icecrypt receiver that works on Astra2 and Intellesat 907. With an Oyster 85cm auto skew dish. Over the last couple of days have been unable to recive ITV2 can get ITV2+1 OK. All other channels are ok. Any ideas please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
satandpcguy Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 ITV2 is on a vertical polarisation ITV2+1 is on a vertical polarisation. So either your dish is not aligned correctly, not large enough for where you are (where you do not say), or your LNB skew is not right, or your LNB has gone. But then you say "all other channels are ok"... which would say to me ITV4 (and ITVbe) is fine... which is on the same frequency as ITV2, and so there would be no reasons as to why you can get ITV4 and not ITV2.

weldted Posted May 24, 2018 Author Share Posted May 24, 2018 Many thanks for the info, we are currently back home in Plymouth, we have been receiving ITV 2 and all the other channels fine in most of France, some channels from Astra 2 at various locations in Spain and parts of Portugal, and the Intellasat 907 BBC 1&2 ITV 1, Channel 4&5 all over Spain and Portugal. So system seems fine it's just itv2 shows no signal ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
satandpcguy Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 From the lists, there have been no changes to anything for ITV2...it is stil where it has been, and alll VPIDs etc are still the same. But very weird that you cannot get ITV2 but you can get ITV4, which is on the same frequency. Perhaps rescanning the frequency may help get it back???

Hi, dump all of your 'hi tech hardware' including the dish that can't be used in windy conditions, and loves to go round and round to the amusement of everyone. Get all tv channels anywhere in Europe with a wifi router and laptop!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weldted Posted May 25, 2018 Author Share Posted May 25, 2018 Had an Oyster dish since 2007 can count on one hand how many times had to lower dish for wind. Wifi no good in a lot of wild camping places. Nothing wrong with the system in general, the question was why have I lost one channel. Just done 7 months France, Spain and Portugal with no problems.

Having been in Spain for 8 months both wild camping and ACSI sites, not experienced anywhere that the wifi dongle do'es not receive signal, and with 100gb a month credit we can watch as much as needed. No we don't do soaps or tipping point, just dramas and news. I am surprised that if you've been in Spain and Portugal this winter with all the wind, that your dish is still attached to the roof!

I have suffered puzzling loss of particular stations and it's either been poor aerial alignment or the need to re-scan the channels. Not sure either explain your present problem but it can't do any harm to rescan anyway, can it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
satandpcguy Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 or the need to re-scan the channels. Not sure either explain your present problem but it can't do any harm to rescan anyway, can it? Most of the channels operated by BBC ITV C4 and Five have not changed frequency or settings for several years, so generally dont need rescanning. It is the less popular channels that do tend to change frequencies every so often, in which case a rescan will be requried... (obviously if you have a freesat or sky box then these automatically update to new frequencies) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randonneur Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 We have a SelfSat Dome and Icecrypt receiver and have just switched both on and no problem getting ITV2, we are near Stockport. Just thought I would test it out to be sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weldted Posted June 6, 2018 Author Share Posted June 6, 2018 Now cannot get Itv2 Itv3 Itv4 Itv3+1 Itv4+1 Channel4+1 Have done a full re-tune, checked the distance from the rubber top on the lnb to one of the upper screws on the dish (67 cm) Whilst the dish is searching when it finds Astra2 and the Autoskew is fine tuning the lnb I can get itv2, but as soon as the skew has stopped I lose it. Spoke to Oyster sat tec who have been most helpful in trying to work out what is going on. Have power to the lnb from the box (19 volts) but am lost. When changing to Intellesat 907 all of the available channels are fine. Currently at my storage yard just outside Plymouth, clear view of the sky??

Looking to go to Spain with a 85cm dish, Sorry to go off track hope your having some sucess with your question. Phil Weldted uses an Icecrypt satellite receiver, we use the same but don't know if its the same model. Ours is picking up all the channels here in the UK with a satellite dome, no problem with any of them. I believe an Icecrypt satellite receiver will pick up Intelsat 907 so that you can receive some UK programs in parts of Europe. Friends who go to Portugal for the Winter use an Icecrypt, at one time they had to get a new code each month from the internet but don't know whether that is still the case.

weldted Posted June 6, 2018 Author Share Posted June 6, 2018 Re my receiver it's an icecrypt s 1600 but the are no longer trading. You need an 85cm dish with the auto skew to use both Astra 2 and Intellesat 907 the further south you go you lose Astra channels but had no problem using 907 down as far as Sagres in Portugal and up the west coast to Vigo.

Perhaps your LNB is going Or your switching is going...or your pwoer is not right....19v??? usually it should be 13/18v Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking to go to Spain with a 85cm dish, Sorry to go off track hope your having some success with your question. Phil A Sky box will boot up and work fine on an 85cm dish all over Spain A freesat box may not even boot up or operate properly, as the Freesat data stream is on a UK beam frequency, that your 85cm dish may struggle to get. Also, the Sky box will get most of the sky pay channels on your dish over most of spain, but both boxes will NOT get the free channels like BBC ITV C4 Five simply as your dish is too small... it may just about get them in the Valencia area, but apart from that then depending where you go in Spain the required dish size for these channels ranges from 1m to 4m+. Which is why people turn to the intelsat system to get 10 channels, by hacking into encrpyted feeds from a freeview back up system, of which the most popular receiver to do this is the icecrypt, but a few other receivers also do this...

weldted Posted June 13, 2018 Author Share Posted June 13, 2018 Having changed the LNB have still exactly the same problem, have borrowed a sky box and all channels now working. It would now appear that the problem is with the icecrypt receiver, hopefully a replacement will be on the way soon!! Fingers crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
