Hi all,
We recently bought a house that had a satellite dish installed. The dish is a Opticum LOP 04H Octo LNB (Opticum Octo LNB LOP-04H) (We live in Germany and I have been unable to find any english links, but hopefully the stats translate easy enough).
I have an old Pioneer KRP-500A TV, which has a DVB S2 tuner built in. However, I have not been able to find any channels when attempting to search.
I have put together a bunch of images here, showing the different configurations possible on the TV. Could someone please point me in the right direction as to what I should try and configure? I have never had TV through Satellite before, so some of the terminology in the menus don't say much to me.
Cheers,
-Crast

Welcome to the forum, Crast!
Aerial select SINGLE is the best choice right now.
First set LNB Voltage ON.
LNB frequency UNIVERSAL is good, keep it that way!
Then try a satellite scan, all frequencies, or if you have the option of BLIND SCAN do that.
Then please report if you receive any channels.
(Edit: And which ones (examples), and at which frequencies, to check at what satellite the dish is aimed. Which satellite are you after?)
BTW Octo LNBs (with 8 outputs) usually are not the best ones; but hopefully this one is (still) OK.

Awesome, that did it! I ended up with some 1300+ channels. Now I just have to sort through them....
Thanks!

That's nice!
Welcome to the satellite hobby, with your first success!
When you receive mainly german programms, your dish prabably is aimed at 19.2 east.
When you want mainly british programs, you might want to aim at 28.35 east.
Depending on where in Germany you are, a relative small dish (60-80 cm) might be enough to receive ALL british channels (also those of the 'spot beam').
Or a bigger dish would be needed, or you'd have to be content with only part of all the british FTA programms....
You might (in due time) also want to build a multi-LNB setup, for receiving more than one satellite position.

Really excited for this season with Kentucky having a new coach and some really exciting recruits. Probably won't last long, but here's hoping this season is great.

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!
So let the game continue!
The last song was added by Bobby who posted...
One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters
CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!
Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game
Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.
Example:
Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow
Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio
Another example:
Ride the Lightning -- Metallica
Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne
Get it?
An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

Stargate SG-1 cancelled, Atlantis renewed
Monday - August 21, 2006 | by Darren Sumner
The future of Stargate is in question today, as SCI FI Channel has cancelled the long-running Stargate SG-1, Multichannel News reported today and a GateWorld source has confirmed. The news regrettably follows the airing of the show's milestone two-hundredth episode on Friday.
Stargate Atlantis, meanwhile, has been renewed for a fourth season, with the network hoping to see that the spin-off series can stand alone, according to a source.
