[QUOTE="vazel0s, post: 882271, member: 402215"] Hi, I am hoping to get some help with a problem that I am having for the last few days. I have a 165cm dish, with a quad LNB, pointing to Hotbird 13. Before about a week everything was working fine and then two very windy nights seemed to have moved my dish and I lost all ability to view any channels. I went up to the roof and re-aligned my dish, using a handheld satfinder device. Using a couple of TP freq's I got the SNR back to around 60% although for other TP freq's on the same satellite it is showing 4%. However the issue here is that even on the freq's that I have very good signal on I can not get the channels that are supposedly transmitting on that freq but I do get a couple of free channels. So I went back down to my dreambox receiver and did a network scan. Again I only got a small list of free channels and not the expected channels I was hoping for. I tried another receiver and same results. So what puzzles me is that even though my receiver is saying 70% SNR on a particular freq when I scan that freq I do not get the expected channels. How is that possible? What could be causing this? btw I also replaced my LNB (i tried a couple of LNBs actually) and still no luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated M [/QUOTE]
