How to setup my satellite dish and all the channels
Dreambox settings
E1 Enigma 1 or E1 menus. Click here for the E2 MenusRight now we have just arrived at the main satellite setup page, where you can set up just about any satellite configuration you can think of. After you have setup up your dishes you can then position them via the rotor option if you need to, add new transponders or satellites to the list, and finally tune in the TV, Radio and data channels.
- Satellite configuration - Where you setup any satellite, any LNB, any diseqc setting, simply or very complex
- Satfind - Once you have configured your satellites, this option will tell you will they are working or not
- Rotor Setup - If you have enabled diseqc 1.2 for your moving dish, then use this option to store the satellite locations. If you have not defined this diseqc 1.2 setting this menu option will not appear on the menu above.
- Transponder Edit - Edit you satellite and transponder lists with this tool rather than doing a manual edit of the satellites.xml file
- Automatic Transponder Scan - Select the satellite to scan and it will automatically scan all the transponders on it
- Automatic Multi Satellite Scan - Select a series of satellites to automatically scan the transponders you have defined in them
- Manual Transponder Scan - Select a satellite and enter in all the details in via your remote control (manually)
Disable background scanning - Stop the system updating new found channels automatically.
For Cable users
Here you have three options;
- Automatic Transponder Scan - Select the Cable network to scan and it will automatically scan it
- Manual Transponder Scan - Select a Cable Network and enter in all the details in via your remote control (manually)
Disable background scanning - Stop the system updating new found channels automatically.

Pawz says "I think the secret of getting a lock lies in this: On the first screen, choose Automatic Transponder Scan and scan any region. Then go to Manual Transponder Scan and enter your manual details. You need to know the Frequency and Bandwidth for each of your transmitters (you have multiple tv stations on one transmitter). Enter the Frequency and Bandwidth, choose any Constellation, but do not choose Auto. Then choose Auto for Guard, Transm. Mode, Coderate LP and HP. In my screenshot it shows the detected values. I can't say whether these same values will work for you. Finding the frequency information may not be easy in your region because DVB boxes normally tune themselves. In Australia I recommend the Austech forums for that info."
Tip: Blind PID's can be entered under the Manual Transponder Scan option.
Tip: For Moteks, or any type of move dish - ensure you have diseqc 1.2 enabled under the satellite you define in the Satellite configuration section above
Tip: European Users can always use the The Henksat Settings files - Automatic Satellite/Transponder setup and settings
