[QUOTE="mruane, post: 209880, member: 21044"] Darren, If you are in New Zealand the first satellite that you want is the Optus D1 bird at 160 E. If your selecting TPL files then you are using the inbuilt TV Engine rather than the new TVEngine3. Looking at the latest TPL for that satellite (160degreesEast.tpl) you will probably not get anything until you add these transponders to the file. Note also that if you are sharing a dish with a SKY STB then none of the V polarisation frequencies will probably work because SKY now use Horizontal.

I would also change the satname entry so that you can find it easier in the drop down list i.e. satname=Optus D1 (160E) 12456,H,22500 12483,H,22500 (i.e. Freq, Polarisation, Symbol Rate - note there is no provision for specifying the Forward Error Correction values) That will get you everything on Freeview.
