Hello all,
My DiSEqC switch (8 Way DiseqC Emp- Centauri) has stopped switching between satellites. Only LNB1 (28.2e) is working. (I can't get any channels on LNB2 =19.2e, LNB3 = 13.0e, LNB4 = 9.0e & LNB5 = 4.8e).
I have DM800-S HD Clone. I just flashed a new image on my box and since then the Switch has stopped working.
Any help will be appreciated.
Regards

P.S.
Sat = 28.2
LNB = LNB1
DiSEqC Mode = 1.1
Committed DiSEqC command = Input1
Command Order = Committed,toneburst
[h=1]

Hello welcome to the forum B2K420

Well having flashed the stb have you now re input all satellites and their positions rescanned and allocated all the different lnbs?

Also is the switch exposed to the elements?

You need to use uncommitted commands with a diseqc 1.1 switch.

Thank you all for our help/welcome. :thankx:
I used Uncommitted DiSEqC Command (As Robbo kindly suggested as I was using Committed DiSEqC command) and they are all working now. I am just scanning all Satellites at this moment.
Now the main Settings are:
Committed DiSEqC command = None
Command Order = Committed, uncommitted, toneburst
Uncommitted DiSEqC command = Input 1
