Sky Digibox Default Transponder
The Default Transponder setting on a
Sky digibox tells the Sky digibox which
frequency to download the channel
list from when the Sky digibox is first
powered on.
The correct default transponder
frequency setting on a Sky Digibox is
11778 V 27.5 2/3.
Prior to February 2015, this 11778
frequency used to be transmitted
from a satellite beam which even the
large 2.4m satellite dishes used to
struggle to receive.
This meant that sometimes during
the boot up process, the Sky Digibox
would inform you that you were not
receiving a signal.
The box would not boot up correctly
as it could not receive the required
data and channel list from the 11778
frequency, as that frequency was
simply too weak to receive.
Luckily, all other frequencies used for
UK TV carried the channel list.
