Hi Ebby did mine the other night and now have even more rubbish ! If you are getting a good picture then as your instruction book that should have came with it, go into the menu and go to auto setup just like a normal tele and it will download all available channels in about 5 mins, it was a lot easier than getting it set up in the first place ! good luck Wyn.

Cheers Wyn Ill try that this week end.We also have freeview in the van but that is very hit or miss,all down to what area you are in. We always get some programes on the Maplin set up we are well pleased with it for the money.It will be perfect if we can ever get channels 4 and 5. Ebby.

As just commented elsewhere we are very pleased with our kit.
Worked as far south as the Loire
Stuck it on the side of the van using the suckers got it pointed in the right direction and did autoscan and all of the expected came up plus a load of junk seemed to be enough channels for us to cope with , free ones that is.

A good site to look at is www.satelliteforcaravans.co.uk this tells you all you need to know about freesat, Wyn.

You can get channel four for free... it actually comes up as a numbered channel, "8350" on 10729/22000 V. Five will be free at the end of this year.

Your box should have facility to set up favorite channels... add the ones you commonly watch to your favorites and then just work from that list - hey presto, no more reams and reams of rubbish channels to scroll through.
