Strength and Quality

Hello everyone,
I have a sat-151 from the brand Listo, I connected it directly to the satellite dish (without a switch, splitter, or anything else...) by gently adjusting the dish I managed to point it to Astra 19.2E, at least I think so, since the signal strength and quality indicated are around 90-95%
But the terminal indicates that there is no "regional hook" and therefore it cannot find any channels.

Thank you for helping me and preventing a satellite terminal from ending up in orbit....

    A bar graph from a satellite demodulator or pointing device (like the SF-500 or 700) showing a high % in quality and power (signal strength or level) does not always guarantee that the dish antenna has been pre-oriented in azimuth towards the right satellite, as some closely positioned satellite transponders use the same parameters... frequency, polarization, symbol rate, FEC...

    If the indicator shows a high intensity, it means the antenna is picking up a (?) satellite signal, but not the correct one, or the correct one but detected with invalid parameters. A fairly strong signal level demonstrates that the installation is not affected by a failure.

    Pointing errors are common, as well as choices of incorrect configurations, often mentioned in this satellite forum...

    Is the demo indeed a HD model (Mpeg 4) and labeled Canal Ready with a valid Tntsat card...? (Is renewal needed?)

      Thank you Gil for this quick response,
      the demo manual states that if the orientation is not correct, the bars (strength and quality) turn red, and here, they are green... ??
      and the demo is indeed HD and labeled canal ready with a valid card, so... I don't know...
      indeed, there are many discussions around the orientation of satellite dishes, and I have scrutinized them without seeing my case...
      in the demo menu, it offers several satellites, but you can only choose Astra 19.2E, I also navigated through the menu to modify the LNB, specifying Universal, polarization, without a switch, etc.
      I'm lost...
      Thank you for your responses.

        If the azimuth, elevation, and polarization settings are correct towards Astra 19°E, any demo satellite receiver or satellite TV, even without a card (or with an invalid or poorly connected one), or without a decoder, but correctly configured, allows you to watch BFM TV or i-Télé or a multitude of German channels since they are broadcast in clear...

        Is this already the case..

      Thank you for your comprehensive response.
      No, that's not the case... could it be the wrong satellite then?
