THOR 1.0 Channel List

[Sjatz]

Hello,

I am connected to a THOR dish and get prety good reception aswell. 85%,90%,0-100.

When I put my Dreambox 7025s on TV2Norge I get a perfectly clear view of the channel (I am subscribing to CD in Norway).

But the problem is I can not find any other channels. I just find about 50 channels and 2 of them are from Norway. No NRK 1 no NRK 2 no NRK 3 no Swedish channels etc.

I have had 3!! sat companies look at my dishes, LNB's, Switches, etc. and none can give me an answer/solution. They all just say 'you have a good signal'.

So I was hoping if someone with a THOR sat would pretty please be so kind to provide me with his found channels.

I;'ve been fooling around with this for months now... please..

use an updated satellites.xml before you start scanning

btw thor is located at 0.8 West NOT 1.0 West

Hi,

Thanks for the links. I am trying a sat.xml now from the websites your linked to.

What I do not understand, and please forgive me for being a noob in this, is why I get channels and signal while according to the googlemaps I am totally out of range? (I am in south Turkey near Alanya)

Here is my set up:

3m Parabol with Astra 19.0 LNB
3m Parabol with Hotbird 13.0 LNB
3m Parabol with Thor 0.8 LNB

These lnb's are connected to 3 boxes/centrals/switches with Descq 2.0.

The first 2 boxes have Astra and Hotbird on Descq 1 and 2 respectively.

The last box has Thor and Hotbird again on 1 and 2.

Now I have a cable from box 1 (Astra/Hotbird) and box 3 (Thor/Hotbird). When I go into my dreambox setup - tuner setup I get a perfect (and it automatically finds it) signal for all sat's except the Thor. The Thor I must choose a freq. manually. Then I get a flawless signal aswell. (92/96%)

But yet when I search for channels I find half of what should show.

I tried new and different sat.xml files now (Enigma 2 also has a feature that allows you to create a new one - tried that), downloaded several from the net. Had 3 sat companies look at it but I simply can not get it solved.

Perfect signal but not the channels. No NRK 1 NRK 2 NRK 3 etc. no swedish channels etc. Just a few (and those work on my subscribed card to CD (I subscribe for Dutch channels as I am Dutch and for Norwegian as my wife is Norwegian... don't ask how we ended up in Turkey )) but yet perfect signal. I tried manually addind the channels... I tried all asfar as my wits can go

I am almost at the point where I will have extra parabols installed with cables from the LNB's running directly into my house rather then trough the switch box.

I forgot to add , when I put my tuner on Sirius sat (When using a sat.xml that contains this) I do find the NRK 1 etc. channels. But they do not work on the card. Just to make things a little more complicated..

Anyone think I will need a custom made sat.xml for Turkey?

btw my coordinates are:
Lat: 36.4979592
Lon: 32.0861989

Maybe it can help... :'(

diseqc 2 will NOT work on a Dreambox, you have to use diseqc 1.1
also dont use High Iso switchess on a Dreambox, they also provide you many problems

[Sjatz]

Ugh I am getting suicidel tendencies by now..

All 3 switch boxes are Diseqc 2.0.. and it all works except for the channel search on the Thor... but switching between Hotbird and Astra etc. is no problem at all...

Maybe the switches have 2.0 and 1.1 technology? Is that possible?

The last switch is a totally different switch box then the other 2 there.. maybe that 1 hasn't?

I'll check the brands later. Thx for your reply's tho Hemertje
