Hi guys,
This is what happened.. the guy came at 8.30pm on Friday when it was almost dark AND he didn't have a test reciever, so he came and tried to play about with the DB. I had already been playing about with it for the last week so sort of knew it, but it was obvious he didn't have a clue! Anyway, I managed to to persuade him to come back on Sunday as he was wasting his and my time.
He came back on Sunday, at 8.30 again even though we had decided 6pm on Friday!, with a test reciever, he apparently re-aligned the dish, and it seemed to work on the test reciever. We connected it back to DB and found 19.2 and 13.0 and we could switch between the 2 satellites!
something that i only managed to do once before right at the start. I then tried to find Sirius and Thor, but couldn't get them... the install guy then had enough and went away. I had enough as well and left it for the day.
Yesterday, I tried again to find the satellites and found 28.2E, and then i could find a lot of the other satellites as well, as long as I used a good transponder!
So now it seems to work OK. Got Thor, Hispasat, Astra, Hotbird and some others.. but the one i can't get is Sirius - I have a 88cm dish and in west london - should i be able to get this??
Also, my other problem is that when the DB freezes or crashes, the only way it will boot up is if I take out the coax cable. Anyone know why this is? Basically, I take out the cox cable, restart DB once it's booted up, put it in standby - re-insert the coax cable, then turn it back on. Otherwise it will freeze at the "Dream Multimedia" stage of the bootup process on the LCD.
Why?
