How to find and configure Astra satellite channels on the STRONG SRT 7300 CI receiver?

Question

Accepted Answer

To find and configure the Astra 19.2° East satellite channels on your STRONG SRT 7300 CI receiver, start by ensuring that your satellite dish is correctly oriented towards this position. Then turn on the receiver and the television, and press the Menu button on the remote control to access the main menu.

Once in the menu, go to the Installation section using the directional arrows, then select Auto Scan. The receiver will display a list of available satellites. Select ASTRA 19.2E by marking it with the OK button. You can select multiple satellites to scan at the same time if desired.

Then configure the scan options according to your preferences: the Scan Mode allows you to choose between All (for all channels) or Free (for free-to-air channels only). For the Service Type, select All to receive TV and radio channels, or choose according to your needs. The Network Search option must be enabled (Enabled) to receive newly launched channels on Astra.

Once the settings are configured, press the GREEN button to start the scan. The receiver will search for all available frequencies on the Astra satellite. This process may take several minutes, so please be patient. The progress of the search and the number of channels found will be displayed on the screen.

If you live in Germany or Austria, a Preinstalled & Scan option may be offered during the initial setup. This option allows you to load pre-installed German or Austrian channels for Astra, which speeds up the configuration process. The receiver will then display the complete list of channels found. You can browse this list with the arrows to check for the presence of the Astra channels you wish to watch.

If no channels are found despite proper antenna orientation, check that the coaxial cable is properly connected to the SAT IN connector of the receiver and that its condition is intact. Also, ensure that the receiver correctly recognizes the type of LNB (Low Noise Block) used by your antenna, accessible in the Installation > Satellite Settings menu. Poor orientation remains the most common cause: use a spectrum analyzer or have your antenna adjusted by a professional to optimize the signal at the 19.2° East position.
