Optus d1 satellite is a no show

I have a topfield top box TF5050CI which was having issues the other day so I reset to factory settings but now can't find the optus d1 satellite and in turn no freeview. If anyone has any advice it would be much appreciated

Hi Petals

The TOPFIELD TF6000Fe menus look the same so follow the instruction here

http://freeviewforum.co.nz/forum/topics/photo-guide-how-to-receive-...

At step 2 you may need to use the left and right keys to select Optus D1

Try the guide and see if you are successful if not report back here.

Hi Petals

I have tracked down these instruction and altered them to ADD Prime.

You will possibly need to select Other if Optus D1 isn't available .

Help I've reset my Topfield FreeView satellite receiver!
How do I get my channels back?

This guide will only assist you to retune your Topfield Free to Air satellite receiver to the FreeView channels if you have been receiving these channels from a single dish system. This guide does not cover multi dish systems nor does it cover PVR setup. Do remember that to receive from a satellite, you must have your dish pointing to it.

Step by Step Instructions – Please follow each step carefully.

1] Read the instruction booklet fully and carefully.
2] The receiver will start in the menu.

Go to ‘Installation’ then to 'LNB Setting'. Press 'OK' on 'Satellite Name'and scroll up and down to select Optus D1. (If Optus D1 is not available just select ‘Other’).

3] Move down to 'LNB Frequency'. You need to set this to your LNB. Your LNB is likely to be either 11300 or 10750. If you can not find 11300 in the list use the arrows to move to '10750' and then type 11300 over top of that number using the remote. If you are not sure what your LNB frequency is you can usually read it on the label stuck to the LNB.

4] The other settings should be set to:
LNB Power – ON
22 khz – OFF
DiSEqC 1.1 – disable
DiSEqC 1.0 – disable
This guide is designed for installation of one dish only. If you have more than one dish, multi switches, LNB switches or actuators your settings will be different. Please contact a qualified installer for personal assistance.

5] Then go to 'Service Search' and press ‘OK’
6] Now this menu page should start with the satellite name again. Make sure Optus D1 satellite is selected. If Optus D1 was preset into the receiver you can leave the ‘Search Mode’ set to ‘Auto’.

If Optus D1 was not preset (if you are using ‘Other’) press the right-hand arrow on the remote to select ‘Manual’.
If you chose ‘Manual’ because Optus D1 was not preset, now you will need to enter the transponder details.
Enter one set of details at a time. You will need to do this step three times as FreeView uses 3 different transponders to broadcast from.
The FreeView channels on the satellite Optus D1 have these details:

Transponder 1

Freq: 12483
Sym: 22500
Pol: Horizontal

Transponder 2

Freq: 12456
Sym: 22500
Pol: Horizontal

Transponder 3

Prime

Freq: 12519
Sym: 22500
Pol: Horizontal

7] The following settings should be made:

Network Search: ON
FTA / Scrambled: FTA

8] Go to ‘Start Search’ and press ‘OK’ After the search is finished, go back to step 4 and search the other transponders.

Yup it does indeed the reception is still not good tho but I guess that must be the satellite

did you enter 10750 at step 3 ?

If you have a Sky dish it may have started to drift and changing 10750 to 10745 or 10755 may help with reception, you can always put it back to 10750

Lol you will not believe this! The old instructions you had posted are gone and I don't remember how to do it.
