Hi guys,
Right on time before the second Match of the Day of the season I have probs with Astra 2...grrr.
Have three LNBs (Astra 1, Astra 2 and Hotbird) behind a Disecq switch. Last week I turned the receiver on and had no reception (0% signal quality) on Astra 2. The other two receptions are normally absolutely fine, but the weird thing is that after I have turned onto an Astra 2 channel the other two receptions are also off with 0% signal quality when I switch over. After some faffing around I turned the LNB Power off and back on in the receiver menu, which got me Astra 1 and Hotbird back, but Astra 2 remains black.
However, to further complicate matters, sometimes I turn on Astra 2 and it works perfectly with 90% signal strength! Not only that sometimes I am watching Astra 2, turn over to an Astra 1 channel and when I turn back the signal is gone again. Also, sometimes if I leave Astra 2 on it springs into life after an arbitrary time period.
Any ideas?
Cheers
Mark
