How do you KNOW it's "125w past 127w"? That doesn't even make sense. You KNOW your receiver does not KNOW what satellite you are pointed at, right?

IF you used the 127w satellite setting on your receiver to scan in 125w, and vice-versa well then, you'd think they were reversed.

Using av8 sat finder I put in 4180 v 30000 125w and 4040 v 30000 for 127w

Well, somethings wrong. Try these settings for 127w, and see what you get. There's supposed to be a couple FTA channels there. I can't see that sat myself due to trees, sorry:

4080 V

DVB-S QPSK

29270-7/8

No worries. Mistakes are part of this whole thing. The only way to never make a mistake, is not even trying in the first place.
