I have just switched on my Foxsat tuner that I not used for many months. It only works on Manual tune mode. It cannot find any freesat channels. I have restored to factory settings and it still won't find Freesat channels. So I'm on the 5000 programme numbers and there is no HD other than channel 5. Can anyone offer any advice please?

There is a number of possible reasons.
Your dish has moved
The lnb has failed
You have water in the coax cables.
Find this transponder in the manual tune drop down transponder list and report found signal strength and quality.

The frequency shown on Humax boxes varies due to rounding. either is well within the range it will find the correct transponder.

I added transponder 11427, saved that and then searched for channels and the pop up menu says "no channels found". I assume I'll need to get an engineers to look at the satellite for one of the potential problems you mentioned.
Thanks for your suggestions.

What I neglected to mention is that I have a smart TV in another room fed off the same quad head from the same satellite and there are no issues with freesat receiving on that TV.
Bearing this in mind it seems there may be a problem with the Foxsat box rather than the satellite feed to it. Would you agree?| Tue 5 Nov 2019 16:08:26 #7 | -

Thanks for your suggestions.Did you add all the correct other details. The 11428 entry would have the correct details.
You should see the attached after a scan
You will need a long ladder for someone to look at the satellite. It's 23000 mls above the equator at 23.2 deg East (Over Central Africa)
