I only managed to Lock 11662V and 11163H last night and figures where a little wild to say the least from not locking to jumping to around 7.1db and then down again, have not managed to lock any of the others as yet

 

[Captain Jack]

Digi, 11660V is very tricky. I had a reading of up to 8.5dB but it never obtain a lock - probably due to a ridiculous 8/9 FEC and DVB-S2.

Also try 11390H - this is fairly weak for at around 5.5dB but it's stable.

Hi CJ,

I could only lock the above 2 TP's and even these where a little sporadic to say the least, They took nearly 3-4 minutes to lock and by the time i have them locked and pressed for a search it lost it again AARGHHH!!! LOL.

I am going to give these another try later as i have been messing around with some different LNB's on the dish so may go back to the Black Pro and see how that fairs.


Regards

Good old Nokia! Would be great if they could be converted to DVB-S2 tuners....

[Captain Jack]
