Many thanks for all the replies to my problem, I have found the original advert from Casterama - Complete kit 80cm dish by Optex, Reciever by Styx and wait for it...Two LMB's for reception of Astra and HotBird, 95Euros. So the third LMB for Astra28.2 could be correct!!! Also managed to contact friend who bought same package and turns out that he had to call in Engineer from "Connections" in Redon who fitted "some thing to the dish" and now all they get is BBC1 and BBC2 but nothing else??? So I reckon he disconnected the 2 LMB's and just fitted the one for 28.2...Dave Brighton

Many thanks for the ideas on Astra28.2. I am located near Redon in Southern Brittany and looking at Astra28.2's footprint on the web even though it has a "Spot-Beam" my area seems to be in it.... When I select Astra28.2 in the Menu it tunes about 17 TV stations, no where as many as Astra & Hotbird which are in the 100's. I can for example get the Travel Station which is on 28.2 so I'm wondering if it's in the settings part of the menu. As to Anton, I bought the Castorama package because I was told by friends that people they know have it and get BBC1 ok. I'm now after their telephone number to see what they did. Thanks for the info on the 3rd LMB and off set arm will keep it in mind....makes you want to chuck it all in and buy a windup radio...Cheers Dave

Many thanks David H, I have checked out the site and there's plenty of information to go by,so hope I get a result. Trouble is most problems seem to be with SKY packages even though they seem to have a simple auto-tuning setup, my system has quite a few setting in Menue and I think that's where the problem of not getting BBC1 is. I can now get Astra28.2 but limited stations and I dont mean the encrypted ones....Thanks again Dave Brighton

I bought a Satellite package from Costarama (twin LMB's)which I was told would received BBC1/2 plus CBBC. I can get Astra and Hotbird fine, but BBC is on Astra28.2 which I can at last get but only a few channels none of which are BBC except BBC24 hours (News). Does anyone have the setting for Astra28.2 as the Menu has so many options for the LMB's etc and I think the fault is in the settings as my Astra28.2 signal strength is 80..
