Dreambox 7000
1mtr Dish
Hi Guys
Hit on a strange problem that hopefully someone might be able to help.
Here's my set-up.
Dish 1 - twin lnb
Output lnb 1 - goes to h-h diseqc motor and onto Dreambox 1
Output lnb 2 - goes to Diseqc Switch and onto Dreambox 2
Dish 2 - single lnb (sky dish)
Output goes to same Diseqc switch and onto Dreambox 2
Dreambox 1 is fine, works well with its own motor. Complete set-up working great.
Dreambox 2 however can only pick up a signal from Dish 2 (sky dish), Doesn't see Dish 1 at all.
I have tried pretty much everything I can think of in terms of settings within the Dreambox 2 plus checking the cables and twin lnb etc. All is fine.
Whats really odd is the Dreambox will pick up the sky dish channels (output A on switch) fine and occasionally pick up Dish 2 Channels (pointed at 16 east) but with severe blocking. It looks at first like a signal problem but I know its bang on alignment as my Dreambox 1 is using Dish 1 and is pulling in 16east channels 100%. (I've swapped over the cables into the twin lnb just to eliminate a buggered lnb unit but same results)
Does this sound like a switch problem or a settings problem?
Any help would be fantastic as I'm about this close to picking up the phone and getting 'someone' in and I've never had to do this before in 5 years of being in this great hobby of ours.
Thanks in advance guys n gals
