Select TV

G'day Theo,

What satellite is the Oyster set up to locate? Select I think Select is on a different satellite to Austar, Foxtel & Aurora.

If you haven't used Aurora card for a while you can update ABC & SBS via telephone. The card should either work or not work. Maybe you should get in touch with Oyster/SIM for assistance.

Regards,

Peter

Select TV is on Intelsat 8 which is more east than C1

Unless you can do a manual lineup on the Oyster you would need new software to get it to point in the right direction.

Hi

we run select TV at home and just pull the sim card out and stick it in the box in the van works all around oz.

You need to switch to 800 if the select tv comes up move to 810 if scrambled signal comes up, your box is already set

If not thomas from oyster sat will add it to your box
he did ours for free but ours is a 2006 model and select tv did not come on line to 2007.
sometimes when you switch between the two lnb's if both slots are active you need to turn off the box wait 10 seconds and then turn it back on.
if only one slot is active it is just a matter of swapping the sim card.

Really appreciate the feedback, thanks all for your responses.

Kind regards

Theo

Some of the comments regarding which satellite the Oyster is pointing at are not entirely accurate (sorry, if that sounds critical). An Oyster is designed to locate different satellites automatically depending on which channel you select - we had our channel list amended to include SelectTV and it then automatically seeks Intelsat8 (Pas8) when we tune to SelecTV channels via the remote.

Now we did have to get the channel list redone by Smartsat, as it was beyond my capability (though apparently it is not all that hard).

The othe useful info is that ABC and SBS are also available on the D1 satellite, but they are unencrypted so you don't need to stuff around with your Optus Aurora card to view.
