hello, i am condorfly and i am glad to here
i've bought lately a multi protocol switch called b.e.s.t germany with 8 enteries and 1 out
i've tried hardly to configure this out with my dreambox 800 HD pvr, ut i can't get no signal, i've tried the two ways of the tutorial of the analoguesat, but the problem still, and when i put back my 4 lnbs disecq back i have a great signal from the first 4 lnbs
i use gemini 4.70, do i miss something in my configuration? do i need a new image for this new setting?
please help
thanks
 
hello
heed more information on systems.
what are the satellite you are trying to pick up?
how many dishes,all lnb's universal?
each dish is aslined to what satellite??

hi ralph,
i have three dishes, first one pointed to hyspasat, second one with lnbs holder support pointing on eurobird 9, hotbird 13, eutelsat 16 and astra 19, third dish, same installation pointing three lbns, atlantic bird 7, thor 0.8, and sirius 4.8, all lnbs are universal, and i've tested them one by one when i fixed my instalation with another stb just for test, and all lnbs were showing great signal each one, but when i joined all in the switch i got troubles having no signa on my dreambox, however the old4 enteries switch still shwoing good signal when i test it again
thanks
 
sorry forgot the last question
one hotbird; two atlantic 7°, three astra 19°, four hispasat, five Thor 0.8°, six sirius 4.8°, seven eurobird 9°, eight eutelsat 16°
thanks fr helpin
 
hello nice system.
first of all the satellite receiver needs fo be configered differently but some remains the same.
lnb all must ne universal because you have a single lnb output.
universal lnb and 22 khz on lnb power on as well
input needs to be set up as follows
disc a input 1
disec b input 2
disec c input 3
diesc d input 4
tone burst 1
tome burst 2
tone bust 3
tone burst 4

you need to see how many options the multiswitch has and how many the receiver has as well

hello again,
need more information on your box and your multiswitch.
if your box has only 4 different tone possibility and the switch has 8 then 4 will not work.
there is a possibility the satellite box will not generate more than 4 tones.
or 4 tones are not compatable .
multiswitch has 4 tone defective as well.
if the box cannot talk to the switch or the switch cannot hear the tone than there will be the problem.
so far can you confirm the first 4 inputs do work.
and are they disec a,b,c,d?

Have you tried using DiSEqC 1.1 or 1.2? Then you use the complex/motorised DiSEqC commands, allocating satellite positions 1 to 8 for your LNBs.

hello
when i put my configuration to usals, i have just the first satellite configured which is hotbird, and when i put it advanced disecq 1.2 ihave just 4 satellites how come?
 
Don't use USALS, just DiSEqC 1.2, then go into the satellites list, pick your satellites and save them with the appropriate numbers. Not sure how the menus appear, as i haven't used a Dreambox for a while.
 
all working great now, i ve put the disecq 1.1 configuration setting each satellite its input from 1 to 8, Also select option to increase voltage maybe that what was missing
thanks all for helping me out
 
Result :)

The increase voltage setting will be for driving a motor.

Hi,
Can you please describe your setting procedure more precisely. I am breaking my head almost a week with the building dish system, which has similar configuration. Unfortunately the technician in charge has 0 knowledge of DM. I am using DM 600PVR with Gemini 4.70 image.
Thank you in advance!
 
hello,
here is the configuration for each satellite with the multiswitch i use "best germany"

mode: advanced
satellite: put your satellite ex: hotbird...
lnb: the lnb number regarding your switch entery
priority:auto
LOF: defined by user
LOF/L: 09750
LOF/H: 10600
seuil: 11700
voltage mode: polarisation
increase tension: yes
mode tonalité: bande
disecq mode: 1.1
toneburst: none
disecq command: none
fast disecq: no
repeat sequence: no
command order: uncommited, commited, toneburst
non validated disecq command: the number of your satellite, ex input 1 or 2..
disecq repetitions: none
tone amplitude: 800mv

that's all, hope that helps
cheers
 
i also had the same problem. spent a week with a sunray 800hd se and an edision multiswitch. i installed 3 x quattro universal lnb with (HH LH HV LV). very straight forward easy stuff. i then connected the respective connection to the multiswitch and on the sunray setup a simple a/b/c/d and pointed each lnb to each of the ports. but nothing. got about 15 channels from hotbird and nothing from astra. i was simply trying to connect 13e, 19e, 28.2e...in order to feed 5 receivers. i am sure it's in the setup. has anyone tried this kind of setup before? can you shed any light on it?
