Hello everyone.
This is sort of off topic.
Just got Sky Digital installed.
By default, the tuner doesn't have TNT (so I can finally get to record
'Grand Prix' the movie, when its on) and RTL2 (to watch the GP + qual when
ITV has adverts breaks).

Basically, I need to know the various settings to manually add these two
channels.

OK, here is the techie stuff.
I'm recieving signals from the Astra satellite at 28.2 degrees East.

I need to know
1. Freq in GHz
2. Polarisation (???? the screen shot in the manual shows H, text doesn't
say any other choices)
3. Symbol Rate in MBaud
4. FEC (???, eg. 2/3)

Not sure if this can be done with the digital box, but cheers for any help
if you have any.

As far as I am aware, you can't add TNT because it isn't being
broadcast on that satellite. I don't know if it is possible to add
RTL2 (but I rather doubt it).

You might want to try posting this question in one of the satellite TV
newsgroups. If it can be done, someone on there will know how.

There are no foreign channels on Sky Digital. TNT should move to Sky in the
next few months.
