Try adding Arte Hotbird frequency/polarity/modulation to transponder list and then search
if that fails then manually add channel without scanning Info here:-[hidden link - please register] |

Thanks, Elmo. Using that site I've managed to manual tune and get back Polonia and Kultura, but still no sign of Arte. I searched under the frequency you gave and managed to tune in something called Art Network and Arte Channel, but I don't think either of those are the Arte I used to have. I think it's the Arte Français that you mention, but when I search under 11623/11681 it doesn't show up. Any ideas?

I'm going to do another scan now and see exactly how many I get. some signals are stronger than others, each transponder has a lot of channels vertical, or a lot of horizontal just picking the strong ones is not the answer, if you want all the channels at that position, bearing in mind that hotbird is not one satellite, it as group of satellites at the position, Hot Birds 13A/13B/13C at 13.0°E a full list of available channels is [hidden link - please register] Arte chic 11471 V tp 14 Tv Polonia and TV Kultura 11488 H tp 15 Arte French HD 11681 H tp 159 3 soundtracks Fre Ger & Orig Arte French mp4 11623 V tp 156 probably HD 4 soundtracks Eng Ger Fre & Orig |

Thanks. I'm going to do another scan now and see exactly how many I get.
Well somehow on my last scan I'd switched the options to 'fta only'. I changed that back to 'all' and got somewhere in the region of 620, but still no sign of Atre, TV Polonia and TV KUltura. One thing I don't understand with my limited knowledge of satellite television is what transponder I'm supposed to search on. Under this option it will say something like '12654/27500/HOR' or '12520/27500/VER' as I flick through them all, the 'quality' meter at the bottom will go from very low to very high. The 'strength' meter stays at a stable 80+ I just choose one that increases the quality meter reading (presuming this is best) and search under that, but I don't really know if I'm searching under the correct transponder or not. |

Losing about half your channels is quite serious but may be a pointer.
There are 101 Hotbird transponders and they alternate between Horizontal and Vertical polarisation, giving approximately half of each. Are all the missing channel on the same polarisation? If so this could indicate a problem with the LNB or polarisation switching signal from the receiver. |

If the signal level is low also check the wiring and the connectors of the antenna,
maybe damaged wire or corroded connectors. Regards Joker |

Check signal level.Possibly bad adjustment to the satellite
