My System: Topfield TF5050CI Common interface digital satellite receiver |
I would be grateful for any hep with a problem I have. I have a dish with 2 lnbs one pointed at Astra1 and the other at Hotbird with a single cable running to my receiver. My Humax expired so I have just bought a Topfield TF5050 CI to replace it and am having difficulty downloading Hotbird channels using automatic and manual searches. It seems that I am not able to get the box to switch to Hotbird. The manual talks about DiSEqC settings but although I can get to the menu I do not know what settings I should enter. I need to be able to get the lnbs to switch but do not know how. Can anybody help me please! | ||

| I'm not familiar with that Box, but they all behave much the same way: Set DiSEqC for Hotbird to A or 1 or something similar. Set Astra1 to 2 or B or similar. It's that easy. The only thing you can do wrong is get them reversed - and that is simple to sort out! Generally things default to "A" and, as you appear to be getting Astra 1 by default, maybe Hotbird should be "B" (Depends which LNB you've connected to which DiSEqC switch Port .....................) | ||

Using the information you both have given me I have worked it out. Simply did not realise that you had to change the setting for both lnbs. Thanks guys for your help. | ||
