hi everyone, i recently move house to a temporary flat before i move to my permanent address, ive had sky+ for years.
the sky box and dish were working fine but sat at my old house for 4months unused, i decided to move the sky dish and temp mount it on a wall in the garden of the flat for xmas viewing.
i used one of these cheap finders and tried to align to astra 2 but my box always showed 0000 and not locked.
even in different satellite positions.
ok i thought maybe i need a professional meter but after looking online for days i really got interested in the whole satellite world and the set ups you can have.
so i decided to buy a usb dvb-s with excited thought that when i move next year i can use the dish thats already on the new house for sky and my old dish to play with different satellites ( im really excited about that) any way in the mean time i planned to use the dvb-s to locate astra 2 using a signal finder program but all i get is no satellite signal aaarrrggg
its driving me crazy and ive been out side in this weather every night messing around with dish looking at the laptop through the kitchen window.
could the lnb have developed a fault because i moved the dish and would the cheap reader still give a reading if it was faulty.
the dish has a clear view of the sky just much as the other dishes belonging to the neighbors although there are tallish buildings near by but i dont think thats the problem
any help appreciated before i give up on my new hobby
