Hello There i wonder if anyone can advise me or help me with a small problem i have. I take it ive set this up correctly. I had three satellite dishes one of which has two lnbs on it. ive used a 4 way disecq switch so all 4 lnbs goes into one cable that comes into the receiver in the living room.
I then decided to try and add another receiver in another room so if someone is watching tv in the living room i can still view my foreign channels. So i bought another diseqc switch, another receiver and a twin lnb to try it before purchasing more twin lnbs. So now i have two cables coming into the house to the two receivers.
The problem i have on one of the tvs the picture is freezing a lot on some channels but it doesnt on the other one, does this mean the lnb is cheap and no good, is it i havent locked on to the satellite right, is it the receiver, have i set it up wrong? Before i could pick up 9e, 10e and 16e but since ive done this new set up i cant pick them up so far.
The lnb i bought was an SLX Twin output lnb which i bought on e-bay for £7.
The receiver i bought was also on e-bay which is made by Konig and i paid £21 for it.
Basically the chabnnels thats freezing are the trt turkish channels on 7e and also sat1 and dsf on astra 19.2 when i moved to try a diffrent satellite. I think it strange for one tv to freeze and not the other unless the lnb is not strong enough to support it.
Thanks in advance and sorry for such a big message
