The Astra 28.2E cluster (2A/2C/2D) is all you need to point at
for UK<br>
Freesat. Astra 19.2E is for continental Europe and you'll
probably<br>
need a dish larger than 40cm (and motor) if you want to
receive it<br>
well.<br>

<div><br>
The dish is for Astra 28.2E definitely, though there may be an
Astra 19.2E that I'm not aware of.<br>
</div>

There is a Astra on 19,2<br>
Anstra on 26.2E<br>
Hotbird 0n 16E<br>
Caurse I have all those in my setup up and running an working. <br>

As for the Freesat/BSkyB distinction - the free to air
channels on<br>
Freesat are the same (as in the same stream of bytes received
from the<br>
same transponder on the same satellite) as you'll receive via
Sky, so<br>
don't worry about the names of the multiplexes you see during
a scan.<br>

Based on the fact kaffeine works, I still think you have an
LNB<br>
misconfiguration. If you reopen mythtv-setup after your normal
DVB-S<br>
configuration procedure, does the LNB status show "Connected"?
If it<br>
doesn't, it needs to be fixed before you'll be able to receive<br>
anything.<br>
<br>
LNB setup has been a long-time problem with DVB-S
configuration (IME<br>
and based on following this list) - the mythtv-setup rewrite
should<br>
hopefully make configuration a lot simpler.<br>
<br>
</blockquote>
<div>I will attempt to do so later. In all cases the LNB status
showed "Unconnected". I have a question though, what exactly
do I need to do to fix the LNB status? Do you mean the 2nd
method that I listed in my original post, i.e:<br>
<br>
Capture card -> DiSEqC in the configuration of the capture
card
-> "(Unconnected)" -> switch -> switch Type - DiSEqC,
number
of port 2 -> ESC -> "(Unconnected)" -> LNB from the
list
(switch, rotor, LNB) -> "Universal (Europe)" <br>
<br>
The dish is not accessible to me since I live in a shared
flat, so I cannot do anything wrt LNB on the dish itself.<br>
<br>
Thanks for the input <br>
best regards,<br>
zs.<br>
