Suddenly my freeview decoder has no signal from Optus D1. But I managed to tune it to Oprtus B3. Sadly B3 only has TV1 and TV2.

My decoder allows me to tune in to Optus B3, C1 and D1. Only B3 now gives me any signal strength.

Did the aliens steal the D1 satellite?

Anyone have some knowledge I could use?

Al you need to do is to enter the Transponder codes for the channels you want. You can watch anything from the Opus 1 satellite. There are many websites publishing them.

This one should help: http://www.satmax.co.nz/support.htm

Any chance there is heavy rain at your place? Heavy rain can interfere with the signal for short periods of time.

Somehow I lost the complete setup? I suspect the remote for my new DVD player might somehow have interfeared with the freeview decoder. I don't think they like each other and need to be separated.

Just like IRL. They get together, there is interfearence that then leads to instant divorce!

I reset mine to factory defaults and it lost the settings for D1, I spent half an hour kicking myself a round the room and then a good hour figuring out how to get it back.

Its now called AAAAA
