Issue with Fortec Star Beta

marculos56

Hi,

I have two minidishes with a disecq switch.One dish is pointing at 28.2e the other at 19.2e.

I had this hooked up to my fortec star ultra all working ok, however just bought a second hand fortec star beta and i am having issues with exact same feed.

I cannot some of the channels on 19.2e.

e.g 12226 H 27500 i get no quality of signal with the beta. with the ultra i get 60-75 % quality.any ideas ?

Have you got the second box looped through the first?

no, i am trying to get the beta working downstairs so i can use ultra upstairs so am just swapping the connection at the moment, this is why i dont understand why i cant see some 19.2 channels.

Ive had odd problems like that in the past with a Fortec - it wouldnt scan above 11700khz.

Never really got to the bottom of it except for finding the receiver didnt like that particular lnb.

I think you could be right there, I think scanning doesnt find any channels over a certain frequency, might try changing the LNB thanks.
