[QUOTE="Ross Mortimer, post: 807161, member: 389619"] 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 [/QUOTE]
