<p>Well Optus D2 is of no use anyway as Freeview and Sky are on Optus D1</p>

<p>My Sky Dish has been in constant use for 8 yrs til a year ago when I dumped Sky. Then I got the Android Box and as you can see the signal is 56% and quality in the 40s so I guess my LNB is far from tip top condition. It still works OK though but the amount of rain fade was increasing drastically before we dumped Sky.</p>
<p>If you can get UHF OK then you'd be better of pursuing UHF. The picture quality is sooo much better.</p>
<p>P.S. Try setting your LNB 10750/10750 or 11300/1130. If no signal strength shows then that's pretty good sign the LNB is dead. There was no Optus D1 in my sat list either so I just added a new sat, called it Optus D1 and entered the appropriated settings.</p> Thx B, satellite only was my…tag:freeviewforum.co.nz,2017-12-08:6513406:Comment:795112017-12-08T02:22:04.586ZRob Barrhttps://freeviewforum.co.nz/profile/RobBarr
<p>Thx B, satellite only was my conclusion too, but still scratching my head around how the confusion could have arisen. So I'll pursue the satellite option. The installation screens are pretty wierd, certainly quite different from yours. There is no Optus D2 in the satellite section list, and no way I've discovered to add an Optus D2. So I edited another and used your freq/rate/pol. settings, but no joy, it still finds no channels. Of course I've no idea if the satellite dish is aligned or…</p>

Of course I've no idea if the satellite dish is aligned or working, so perhaps that's my next step, to get it checked out.</p>

There is no menu that allows a TP to be added, so I edited another satellite configuration ("other" I think), but search picked up zero channels.

<p>My menu is similar to that shown in this post, but does not have SAT/TP Edit.</p>
