My System: 5 Dish Antenna's: Hotbird 1-5 AsiaSat 3S PanAmSat 7/10 Arabsat 2A Nilesat 101
Dreambox 7025 - Configure Intelsat 7/10 C-Band?

Having posted the following message earlier on this thread, nobody replied. Hence, I thought to open a new thread about my query.



I recently bought Dreambox 7025 and trying to configure the dishes. I am not able to configure Intelsat 7/10 (C-Band) on my Dreambox 7025.

Let me tell you my configuration in detail before:

I have following dishes:

1. Badr 26.0E (Universal LNB)
2. Intelsat 7/10 68.5E (2 C-Band LNB: 1 for Horizontal & 1 for Vertical)
3. Hotbird 13.0E (Universal LNB)
4. Nilesat 101 7.0W (Universal-LNB)

in following setup:
Code:
1.  Badr 26.0E (Universal LNB) -------------------------------------------------------------------> DiSEqC Input 1 +---------------+
                                                                                                                   |               |
2a. Intelsat 7/10 68.5E (Horizontal C-Band LNB) ---> LNB Input 1 +-----------+                                     |               |
                                                                 | X Switch* | Compined Output ---> DiSEqC Input 2 |               |
2b. Intelsat 7/10 68.5E (Vertical C-Band LNB) -----> LNB Input 2 +-----------+                                     | DiSEqC Switch | --> Output to Dreambox 7025
                                                                                                                   |               |
3.  Hotbird 13.0E (Universal LNB) ----------------------------------------------------------------> DiSEqC Input 3 |               |
                                                                                                                   |               |
4.  Nilesat 101 7.0W (Universal-LNB) -------------------------------------------------------------> DiSEqC Input 4 +---------------+
* - X Switch is some switch used for combining Horizontal and Vertical LNB signals.

The thing is, I have the remaining dishes setup in my DB7025 but only have problems with Intelsat 7/10.

I have tried setting Intelsat 7/10 to C-Band in the LNB Settings and also tried User Defined and manually entering 5150 for Low and High. Moreover, I have tried the User Defined and entering 9750 Low and 10600 for High and conversion setting for following Frequency and in following calculation:

From _http://www.satcodx3.com/0686/eng/
HUM TV: 3.774 GHz Horizontal 3300 Symbol Rate

5150 - 3774 = 1376
1376 + 9750 = 11126

Then entering the Fake HUM TV Frequency: 11.126 GHz Horizontal 3300 Symbol Rate, still does not pick any channel.

All of the above mentioned methods do not work.

However, if I connect my old receiver I am able to tune and watch channels for Intelsat 7/10. So, the X Switch in the diagram above does not have any problem.

Let me know if I am missing something here or what else I can try.

Thanks in advance.
