What should i buy for feeds ?

[william-1]

yes indeed i have, a few times mate, just to eliminate any feed line or dish/ motor issues, its also worth noting that my Blade 7000s works perfectly.. even though, i don't see Anyway an antenna fault would prevent proper blind scanning..

i can see why people would think that though as both the 5502 and the 5302 have the same issue, but remember BOTH were brand new, i think it must be a problem in the last batch of hardware or firmware or something.. suspiciously both of these models were Very recently discontinued.

I would be very happy to realise it was something I was doing wrong,
i would rather look like a bit of a tit and have it working

Try loading my channel list for 42 DTH satellites & 16 feed satellites,
I am using patched software issued on 25th May 2016 this will probably be the last upgrade for this receiver,

I only use DiSEqC 1.3 USALS with these receivers as I have damaged one motor by using DiSEqC 1.2 as it ignores limits & jammed the motor @ 60 west so I will not be going there again,

Move the dish to 10 east now follow this Blind search procedure:-
Select 10 east feedsat
Menu>> Installation>>Advanced search>>m=Now move the cursor to Transponder & press ok>>now select the yellow button Delete All then select Yes
Exit>>Exit>>Blind Search

1st Blind Search 10950 to 11200 in TP Range using H & V polarisation press ok then set the start & finish limit @ 6MHz steps now press the red button to start the search,
2nd Blind Search 11450 to 11700
3rd Blind Search 12500 to 12750
4th Blind Search 11200 to 11450
5th Blind Search 10700 to 10950 only use Vertical Polarisation here.

If you find no active transponders on your 1st scan then select 10 east Eutelsat 10A to move the motor back to 10 east now select 10 east feedsat & start the 2nd Blind Search.

This is a guide to the Active:-=== Ku Band transponders 57 east to 55.6 west Polarization V & H (when both in use none is shown),
(For the UK Ireland & France) Active European Beams received here with a 80 to 100cm dish in the East of England April 4th 2016

Set your Font in Note Pad to Lucida Console / Regular / size 14 you will be able to read the chart as I made it.

cheers rob

 

[rob12770]

[rob12770]

[rob12770]

2nd blind scan not working scanning the whole range again grrrr

You have the old software corrupting your receiver from the looks of it so try this:-

Go to Installations
System Setting
Go to Factory Reset menu
Save channels as Default Channels for your current list
Now Factory Reset
Load the Phantom Patch for 25th May 2016
When it has finished loading
Factory Reset again & switch the receiver off at the mains for 2 minutes to drain all the previous memory
Now load the Patch again & reload the channel list then try your Blind Scan again.

 

[rob12770]

nope, Still not working , i did Everything you said to the letter, and it Still scans the full range

 

[rob12770]

i did the whole reset procedure exactly as you described Twice now and its still not scanning as it should....
I tried to raise the issue on the Technomate site but don't have privileges to post for some reason ??
anyhoo.. any thoughts appreciated
thanks for your help thus far William ( and others)
cheers Rob

Looks like a receiver fault,

I had a similar issue with a Blade7000 a few years ago worked ok for 12 months then I loaded the latest patch & nothing would work properly so I had to bin it as it was out of warranty ,

Send it back as a faulty box for a refund,

 

[rob12770]

I made another video showing how it works fine with just 1 satellite
cheers rob

strange thing is William, the 5502 i had last week, ( also brand new) had the SAME exact issue .. cant be just bad luck surely ?
must be a bad batch or something ?

yep, ive experimented at length, and the only way i can get blind search to scan within the parameters is to only have 1 sat on the system,
i Did get 3 sort of working but then it suddenly did not work again !
so i deleted 2 sats off the list, leaving only 1 and viola it works ..

clearly this wont do as i need it for a multi sat setup.
incidentally it doesn't seem to matter if USALS or DiSEqC is enabled or not ..
Any thoughts appreciated Cheers Rob

Hi there - @rob12770
i,v just received one of these boxes to replace my dead Spiderbox
its brand new and i,v not patched it or put in a channel list
what i have discovered "is" that within the blindscan menu you CAN have a number of sats in the list but if you o.k. one of them so that it puts a "tick" next to it..- it will indeed as you said ... then proceed to scan the whole range despite what you may have selected in the scan range ?....

but if you just scroll down the sat list and DO NOT press ok to put a "tick" there ... and just proceed to set the required scan range etc - it it seems to do the job as it is supposed to do ....
software bug maybe ? or just badly designed/confusing software ?....
give it a try on your box and see what it does .....
regards ......
