[QUOTE="geoffreys, post: 29849, member: 176167"] Hi. I am in Cyprus and receive all SKY channels fine from 2A/2B North and South beams. I receive NO channels at all from 2D. I am using a 2.4m prime focus dish, Invacom (single) LNB, and a Panasonic TU-DSB30 Digibox. So if I turn OFF the 22 KHz tone to the LNB, thus forcing the reception of the Lo band only (2D) I would expect to now receive no channels at all, and on the ones I normally receive from 2A/2B to now give the message 'No Satellite Signal is being Received'. WRONG! I am still receiving some channels, such as Living, Challenge, Bravo, H&L, UK Style. I still get UK Gold, but NOT UK Gold+1 even though are both on the 2A South beam. I cannot now get ITV News or SKY News, but I still getting CCTV-9 and Euronews. Undertaking a forced reboot or software download make no difference. So what is going on? I can only think of the following possibilities: 1. The channels I can still receive are Lo band, from 2A or 2B. 2. On some channels there is still a 22 KHz tone getting thru to the LNB, if so how? 3. The channels I can still receive are Lo band, but from a different Satellite. I would be interested in any comments on the above please. Switching the 22 KHz tone back on I immediately get ALL 2A/2B channels back. Regards Geoff [/QUOTE]
