    Blowing a Fuse

    Ive now moved the cable to anothe port on the lnb and it all works fine and so far today no fuse has blown. So i can only assume that one or two of this octo lnb are faulty as im using the same cable and the same receiver as yesterday. Thank You to all that replied to my post

    Blowing a Fuse

    Its a 15 amp fuse where when blown you have to replace the fuse wire by threading it through.

    Blowing a Fuse

    No all my receivers are in my house. I was thinking at the moment the cable from lnb to living room is working. if i put the one thats blowing into the port the lnb that i know works and it blows the fuse again then surely the lnb is fine

    Blowing a Fuse

    I bought a new lnb for my sky dish this week an 8 port lnb. Also bought new cable to go with it. I hooked three of my sky boxes up no problem. When i hook the fourth one by screwing the cable into the sky box my 15 amp fuse at the fuse box blows. I changed the wire to another of the lnb ports...

    Sky Card and Receiver

    Thank You everyone a member of the BT live chat has managed to pair the card to the new receiver. I must say that they are so much more helpful than Sky in my opinion. Thanks again everybody

    Sky Card and Receiver

    I dont know if the card that came with the receiver is the original card. Dont know how i could find out either. I phoned BT Sport yesterday afternoon and they say that its a sky problem. Its annoying as i dont want to subscribe to sky but i like BT Sport and have no other means to receive it

    Manhattan Plaza ST200 or Technomate 1500ci

    I have now tried a Manhattan Plaza XT-CM. This receiver has a cam slot and a card reader. While i tried the card and cam in the cam slot the same thing happens as the other two receivers where the picture freezes after 5 mins. But when i insert the card into the card reader without using the cam...

    Manhattan Plaza ST200 or Technomate 1500ci

    Can i just ask one more question, does it matter if i bought a receiver with Common Interface slots ( cam slots ) or a receiver with multi card reader. Would both work with my al jazeera irdeto card. I take it the multi card reader dont need a cam. Im not very good at these things i got this...

    Manhattan Plaza ST200 or Technomate 1500ci

    Is it right the information ive had, if the picture freezes then the receiver is either too old or the software needs updating or upgrading?
