Hello to all, and thank you in advance for your help! :-worship
I (actually my neighbor) am having a strange problem:
today I connected to 8-th last connection slot on the digital LNB from the dish on the attic of our building and is oriented at Astra 1 19.2. Altough I did not touch anything else but just used the free cable that was there, my neighbor, who is connected to the same LNB lost the signal quality COMPLETELY!!! The antena configuration in the receiver menu shows Signal strength 69% with Signal quality 100% at my place, but at his flat, even with my receiver, it shows 60% Signal strength and 0% !!! Signal quality. His receiver can find the channels on Astra, while scanning eventually the signal quality jumps to 79% and backs to 0%, but when trying to watch the channels it says scanning...
Even when I disconnected my cable and things became as they were before,
his situation did not change! HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?
In the attic his cable (which is an old analogue one) is going from the LNB to a multiswithch (altough only his cable is coming out of it) and than mixes with a standard RF antena cable, rolls in loops for maybe 10m and goes down to his flat.
My neighbor says I broke his connection and must pay the technician and expenses, but I DID NOT TOUCH ANYTHING else than connected my cable to the empty slot...
He says it worked before, now it does not, so it must be me...
Please help, if I knew how is it possible for such a thing to happen, I could stand my ground and even help him fix his problem... Otherwise I might be forced to pay a lot ...
Best regards,
M. Leon
