I'm having a problem with my Manhattan Starlight 6900.
A couple of weeks ago, this receiver developed a fault (Went in into
'constant boot mode') and had to go back to the manufacturer for repair.
I got it back yesterday, re-installed it and it came back in a 'factory
default' state-no problem-I expected that, and I know my way around this
receiver.
Now, my lnb (.4db Galaxis) has a little problem with it's LO, but as I know
about it, I can simply change the LOF in the settings on the receiver and
everything drops in perfectly.
So I went into the lnb set up menu, chose everything as I had
before-Universal lnb-then went onto the LOF page, and I'm sure there is
something missing here...As far I can remember, there should be three
frequency settings here..a low, a high, and a switch but all I'm seeing is
2-low (9750, which I adjust to 9742) and high (11600 which I adjust to
11592).
I continued with the set up, but when I scan a satellite for channels, when
the receiver gets to a frequency over 11700 or so, it doesn't pick up a
signal-it's fine on the lower frequencies, and if I go onto scan an
individual frequency above 11700-I can get a lock on a signal, but it takes
it's time to lock on.
This sounds to me like the lnb isn't switching, and it also seems to tie in
with my thought about a 'missing' LOF in the settings.
Anyone got thoughts?
