Hi
Our new LG TV with Freeview is connected to the same dish as our sky box.
Problem is when I tune it, it only finds one HD Channel (channel 4).
How can I get it to find them all please? I phoned LG help desk, but they were useless, saying that I shouldn't get any HD channels!!!! This can't be right surely.

you can only get any freeveiw channels via a dish that you satalite provider give on your package
you connect an aeriel to the tv ariel socket to get freeview channels for free

This entire discussion is meaningless. Freeview can be received ONLY via an aerial - not via a dish.

From a suitable aligned satellite TV dish, with a suitable satellite TV receiver, you should be able to receive FreeSAT and/or Sky.

So, make up your mind what signal you are discussing and post again with full details.
 
Oh yes. Sorry my mistake....of course I meant FreeSat not FreeView...with is correction in mind, should'nt I be able to receive more than just channel 4 as HD?

The dish has a quad LNB, two ports are used for our sky HD box, and the FreeSat TV is linked to one of the spares.

Thanks Sam
As you say, this suggests quite a few HD channels....but my tuner only finds C4.
I have checked the cable right to the dish and there is no damage/bad connections. Any thoughts ?
 
If your Sky Digibox can receive the listed Freesat HD programmes without the subscription card then your TV's integral Freesat receiver should be able to.

If it can't (and never has) then ask for a replacement under warranty.
 
Hi Sam,
Just to be sure I understand you,are you saying take the card out if the Sky+HD box and check to see if it receives teh FreSat HD channels?
 
...actually I've just looked and I don't think the Sky+HD box has card....am I missing something?
 
Yes we pay a subscription .... Think I'm misunderstanding something here, sorry.
 
I meant I card see a slot for a card on the sky box. Do they all still have them?
 
All sorted now...thanks for advice Sam Gangee
I printed out a list of MUXs and used the manual tuning option to chose the ones that the auto tune had missed. Got all the FreeSat HD channels!!
Thanks again
 
Does that mean your TV is getting a weak signal as otherwise it would find them on autosearch?
