Default Transponder Frequency Changes – 12129 may no longer work
Default Transponder Frequency Changes
If you use 12129 as the Default Transponder Frequency setting to help your Sky digibox boot up, then on the 31st May 2012, this frequency was not carrying any channels, and no longer helped in booting a Sky box up.
You can use an alternate Frequency code of
12207 v 27.5 2/3 – the Sky News frequency
12051 v 27.5 2/3 – Turner Channels
11895 V 27.5 2/3 – MTV group of channels
12285 V 27.5 2/3 – Sky Living
In fact you can use any frequency that you know you can actually receive.

Default Transponder Frequency Changes – no signal messages on your Sky digibox.
If you use 12129 as the Default Transponder Frequency setting to help your Sky digibox boot up, then you may be finding this no longer works, and you may just be seeing “no satellite signal” messages on your Sky box.
This is beacause, on the 31st May 2012, this frequency was no longer carrying any channels, as the S4C channel moved from that frequency.
This means that this frequency is no longer able to help in booting a Sky box up.
So, if, for example after a power cut, you needed to use 12129 as the default transponder frequency on your Sky digibox in Spain then you will now need to use the new default transponder frequency setting.
You can use Frequency code of 12207 v 27.5 2/3 as the new the new default transponder frequency setting for Spain.
