Hi Guys,
It sounds like you all undestand more about these things than I do, sorry not a specailist in these things.
Presently I receive DSTV from IS/7, however do not receive all the channels, in early 2007 when we had the system installed we received all, but in early 2008 certain channels on certain frequencies deteriorated. From what I understand it becuase is that the satellite has deteriorated. Interestingly enough these channels started working for a week last week, weather had also changed over this period, maybe the reason.
It is a bit difficult with the local installers to change the setup as they are only used to systems related to Nilesat and the like, so I do not have a clue as what I sould request them to do. When I do get them out they play with the LNBF for hours and eventually all works, but this only lasts for a few hours.
I am using a Dragon decoder 3300, single LNBF and 1.8m dish.
I also have a configured DSTV PVR Decoder + matching card + Signal in Splitter which I broght out from South Africa, however it does not pick up any signals when doing a scan, maybe it is because it requires two LNB's or the signals in this part of the world is to weak for it?
I will appreciate any advise on installation or set up?
Thanks a lot much appreciated.
Peter
