Good day..
First of all I am a newbie to Dreambox and satelite and been having a problem getting started.
I am in South Africa trying to connect to the pas7/10 satellite. I noticed when going to sat finder my SNR is 0% constantly and AGC will bounce around between 70 -90.
I have tried moving the dish slowly sweeping in the area the dish pointer has shown me but cannot find anything on signal or get a lock. I dont have a motor so this is done by hand.
Im pretty sure i would of picked up something as it was the same general area as my neighbours dishes and the lnb was at the same position.
I ended up taking the the co-ax out the lnb and testing with a multi meter and get just under 13 for V and and just under 18V for H.
It is currently running Nemesis 2.4 But have not flashed any images or installed any software yet.
Obviously i would need a lock on the satellite before i can even scan for any FTA channels?
Do i still need to install any 3rd party software or should it scan for satellites right out the box?
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated as i stated i am a newbie to satellite receivers and cant get passed here.
I have even looked at lyngsat and set the frequency and symbol rates etc.. to what lyngsat says when looking at sat finder
Thanks
