=. I would take the TM upstairs to see how it performs, this will identify whether it's the Rx that is more sensitive or if you are losing signal to your Skystar. |
Great suggestion, Thank You. Funny how you dont think clearly when you are stressed.
I ran the TM1500 on the upstairs incoming cable. I got a good signal on 19E of 75 (same as downstairs) but zilch on 13E or 28E. It doesnt show an error message.
When I put it back into
SkyStar2 I got the same error message in vPlug on all 3 Timeout- This PID is empty. Rescan
Perhaps I've disturbed the diseqc box. I bought the 3 lnb setup and asked the installer to install my existing LNB but I was greedy. It was too heavy for the arm which swung around in the wind.
I uncoupled the 4th LNB and sliced off the cables before they went into the diseqc. This summer I've removed the cable stubs and the Fconnectors but I didnt have the proper tape so I left the plug bare and just put the weatherproof cover back on and ziptied it.
The other 3 in and the single out are still properly sealed.
Did I do the right thing, and could this be the reason for the constant need to rescan ?
