  I have had a look at this frequency and although there is a very strong signal present I cannot get any lock. Other people have also not been able to get a lock.

  to get the lock you need a new DVB-S2 suitable receiver or pc-card
  
  @hdmad: what are your friends using to get those channels?
  new Humax PR-HD1000 or Pace DS810
  new KNC ONE DVB-S2 Plus?
  something else I don't know?

  Hi there!
  Do you have any idea if they broadcast in MPEG2 or H264 (MPEG4)?
  I'll try it with Humax ASAP.

  sat-man is the Pace DS810 a proper satellite receiver i.e.
  does it accept the full range of symbol rates and FECs and
  can it handle MPEG2 4.2.2 transmissions
  or is it a crippled animal like the Sky digibox??

  it's a real and proper receiver, accepting full range of SR, moving a dish with disecq 1.2 protocol, with NagraAladin embedded for Premiere but also 1 slot Common Interface and, of course, HDTV, DVB-S2, mpeg2 and mpeg4 suitable (but no 4:2:2: I asked Pace and they told me they don't want to implement the 4:2:2 format, they consider it "professional"...)
  of course, nothin' to do with a dodgybox...

  Pace told me they think it can handle MPEG2 4:2:2 but could not confirm it and did not have any way of testing it.

  Well, that's good news. Usually boxes from Pace have been so called crappy-boxes. Last time I used Pace was 1996, couldn't do anything with it and so changed to Nokia
