Hello
I have a satellite pointing I think to Astra and another to Hotbird. I am in Portugal and two months ago I was watching TV fine but since returning back to Portugal last week I have not been successful in viewing any channels. Just getting "no signal".
Today I went onto the flat foof with my tv, stuck in the satellite cable into the back of my receiver and managed to see Hotbird. I am using DisEqc/sat switches and they are maked SAT A, RX and SATB. I wondering if the problem could be that I need to replace these SisEqc/sat switches. Unfortunately the shop was closed today so will get them tested at the local electrical shop on tuesday. There is a bit of rust on the outside but look fine inside. However there were loads of earwigs in one of them! If they do test ok I need to reconnect them. This is the problem. Which leads go where! I think the lead coming out of the Hotbird LNB goes into SAT A. Where the other two go I'm now unsure. Could someone explain to me a bit more where the leads go please? A diagram would be lovely!
Another question. The receiver I am using is a M Vision S5 USB. I have a SKY receiver I got from PACE some years back. Is there any advantage in using this receiver and would it work?
