Still have a Tarbs satellite dish and decoder box. Have read here that it is possible to watch some channels - Russian specifically through it by resetting it. What do you need to do with the dish and/or box to do it? Can anyone explain to me in plain English how to do it step by step, that is if it is possible at all. Thanks and appreciate

Stasik <br /><br />You need to do plenty of reading it all in the forum whats going on. Just think of poor me I get asked this at least 15 times a day, I'm starting to go mad!!!.

i think a lot of people are trying to piss off phil by doing this..... maybe im wrong but its most likely to be the case

Also re map you channels if box fails,,,,,. It has a funny problem liking that freq but once locked in its ok<br /><br />7/Now you have 2 transponders and plenty more channels.<br /><br />8/For some of you you will not be able to VIEW,,,, I mean VIEW,,, the second Transponder as they are playing with the encryption so in other words it will tell you you are not authorised to view these channels.<br /><br />GO FOR IT BOYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11<br /> <br /> <small>[ 22.

Russian channels are on PAS8 mostly, i think. No need to reposition your dish.<br /><br />You just need to change freq. to 12729, everything else should stay the same.
