Oyster system

[Johnnyshaw]

Hi
I've seen a few discussion on this oyster system but not got quite the same problem. Everything works as it should when I switch on, it finds astra 2, I then do the auto scan search and it finds 653 tv channels 61 radio and 1 other, however when I put the channels on I only get a handful not all

Does it find the main 5 channels ?
Maybe the signal is weak for some reason, not quite aligned correctly ?

I really don't know, if you can hang on I'm sure Anthony will be along tomorrow with some suggestions.
Which model Oyster system is it ?

The Oyster system locates the required satellite however once it's done that it shuts down and passes control to whatever receiver you are using. Normally, it'll be a satellite TV however a lot of them are only free to air receivers so susceptible to any changes made on the satellite network. If you let me know what model of receiver/TV you are using then I can advise on what needs to be done.

Hi Anthony any look

what i have found a few times, is that when the sat dish has 'found' the signal etc, i then normally reset the tv guide and delete the existing channels prior to asking it to search for channels - otherwise i end up with lots of identical channels but only 1 or two will work (its not a regional thing, with lots of duplicate channels, its the tv guide not knowing where to 'look') - at least thats my experience, perhaps its worth trying
