Do a search on "transponder" in these forums. You will find lots of help.

a transponder is basically a frequency with a group of channels assigned to it. IA5 satellite has about 30-40 transponders i think.

Does you receiver have blind search? If it does, blind search the sat and you will find all FTA channels.
