New TPs

There has been several TP changes on 28E, best to rescan.

Hi Jon
                  I know this seems a silly question but, if I have a blade will I need to rescan? because I cannot get British travel sports.
if I have to rescan how's this done?

Thanks

Never heard of British travel sports, is that the correct name for it or is that your name for it. 
Is it on this Sky list,
Sky Guide TV Listings - Sky

sorry Jon I meant BT sports..

There is a channels list on the box, Menu--Settings--Blade Online--28E-- Pick the one for your area.

There's a few channels missing not just BT Sports therefore best to do a complete scan not just a scan for BT Sports, the channels will not be in order.
Menu--Installation--Channels Search--Pin = 0000--
Scan Mode = Auto Search
Search Type = TV Only
Press red scan button. (No need to touch Frequency)

If you only want BT Sports HD
Scan Mode = Manual
Frequency = 12574
Symbol Rate = 23000
Polarization = H
Search type - TV only

BT Sports SD  as above using
12515 (H) S/R 22000

Thanks Jon
                     I'll give it a go and let you know.

Hi Jon
            I did the scan as above but I'm still not getting those channels.
I bought the box with the free gift so I have not installed anything on it, it was just plug and play.

do I need to reinstall by getting the channel list? if so where do I get this from, and if so can you point me in the direction of the idiots guide to  installation guide please.

If the channels are there but show "scrambled" likely your server has not updated, contact gift provider.

Don't use Blade list so no idea if it's been update, Menu-Blade Online-UK Astra-28.2E choose your area.

Not a good idea to buy a gift as provider as their have your money and don't need to update channels, bit like sold as seen.

When I bought the box the fella didn't tell me who the provider was, can if find this out  anywhere within the box?

how do I  choose my area or know which area I'm in?

I thought that I had to buy a gift to get all of the sky channels or can this be done for free?

Jon you said above that its not a good idea to buy a gift. I know that the sub only last for a period of time,but then if I don't then I assume no sky TV? or are there any new boxes available that you don't need to subscribe to  like the old star view boxes.

007

Normally when you take a sub, a test line is given if no good you don't take the sub, this option is not available with a gift.

Starview boxes are cable except the combo which needs a sub, Kryptview don't need a sub but the server is up and down all the time and the boxes cost the same as the Blade for non HD channels.
My tip to you would be contact the "fella" about the BT channels,(if they show as scrambled) when gift runs out get a sub not expensive some £25.00 for 6 months.

Thanks for your help, Jon its much appreciated.

Are the BT channels there but showing "scrambled"????

yeah  they are also Santana...

Get in contact will the "fella" as Setanta and BT are using new TPs, are you also missing BT Sports SD

Presume you have rebooted box-modem-router.

All of the Sky sports channels are there .... none of the BT channels are.
would rebooting just be a case of basically turn the boxes on and off for a set period of time?

I will contact the fella today and ask him..

BT/Setanta Channels are there but show scrambled
BT/Setanta Channels are there but show no signal

Which one of the above is correct

Also are both BT HD and SD not working

sorry all of the above channels are showing there, but all are saying bad signal/scrambled, no SD or HD for either.

No or Bad Signal is to do with the feed, dish to box or TP problems.

Scrambled Channel, is internet connections or server problems, that's why the fella should be contacted.

Did mention your area, that's nothing to do with Sat was thinking about another set-up at the time

yeah its saying no/bad signal, when I was connecting the cable from the dish to the box, I had to join it but I used the proper connector for the joint..

could this be the problem ?

I take it TP means rescan? which I've already done

TP means Frequency

So it don't say "scrambled"

Got to BT 1 HD channel press menu-channels-move channels-0000-
Sat  28.2E  ASTA
TP  12.574 (H)
Is that what it shows if not what does Sat-- TP show

Press exit twice to return to main screen

it shows
sat 28.2E
TP 11.585(H)

You have TPs short, now the easy part most from a earlier post.


Menu--Installation--Channels Search--Pin = 0000--Press Green= Add TP

For BT Sports 1-2 HD
Scan Mode = Manual
Frequency = 12574
Symbol Rate = 23000
Polarization = H
Search type - TV only
Press Scan (Red Button)

BT Sports SD  as above using
12515 (H) S/R 22000

ok, I done what you said above, and the channels are displayed as being 936- 937-938-939-940 in a group of 5 channels ,,,and i can view them,, but I don't know where they are grouped...or how to get them into my sports group.

if I go to ,,,,groups''''' and go to ,,,,sports,,, then go to BT1-2 sports HD it says bad/no signal again, this is after having done the above

it says saving when I have done above, but as I said I cannot find the channels.

936---940 are at the end of your list, press 936 on remote .937 and so on.

The TP your using for BT1-2 don't exsist any more delete both BT channels
