I have a Samsung UE40D6530 TV with built in DVB-S2 tuner based in Barcelona. I have retuned the TV but the BBC HD channels are nowhere to be seen. Any suggestions?

Hi JB38, others,

The Samsung UE40D6530 is actually the Spanish version and so includes a built in satellite decoder (I think the UK version is different). I get all the UK channels very well in Barcelona except in early June the BBC HD channels disappeared, and even when I retune there is no sign of them.

Any help anyone could provide would be greatly appreciated!

Many thanks,

Barry

Hi Les,

I can confirm that the TV is DVB-S2 compliant as well as the LNB. (I do in fact have 2 TV's with DVB-S2 and same problem on both).

Do you think that there are any solutions given that the Inverto Ultra LNB and two Samsumg TV's are DVB-S2 compliant but not picking up the new BBC HD signal?

Many thanks,

Barry

Probably worth mentioning that the Samsung TV's are DVB-S2 but not Freesat branded. As far as I know reading posts on the matter, this affects only the channel order and the EPG (only shows now and next).

Hi jb38, Les,

Yes also tried the manual search but compltetly dead. No sign at all. Do you think there is any chance I need a bigger dish? (I do have evening problems with some of the C4 channels so maybe the "new" BBC1HD needs better reception).

Also Les you mentioned posting in "Tech Help" to satandpcguy. I can't see a way to post to him directly so do I just include it in the body of the post and hope that he picks it up? (Sorry if this is a compltelty numpty question!). Thanks!
