I bought the cheap receiver (SL55), dish, lmb and satmeter from Lidl last week.
I swapped my $kybox with the sl55 to check it worked, it did fine. (then swapped back)
I used the satmeter on existing $ky setup to see if that worked, but it only just managed a beep and two lights, so obviously it doesn't.
I have installed my FTA box, using the dish and lmb from Lidl, however I haven't had a picture....Yet
I fixed the polarmount absolutely spot on vertical. I have bought a SM3D12 motor and fixed the dish as instructed by manual. The whole lot is straight and pointing south (using a compass). The sun is out now, if it is still out at 1pm, I will confirm this.
I have entered my Lat and Long into my box and tried to pick up Thor at 1w with USALS without any luck. I then tried to pick up Astra 28.2 using USALS and manually using the position of my sky dish as a guide, again no luck.
The bit that is making me a bit nervous at the moment, is that, I can get my signal strength upto 75% but not a thing on the quality strength......ever.
Is this normal, as I would have thought with 75% signal I would have got something on the quality.
Could the lmb be as good as the satmeter?
Any help is appreciated.
Cheers.
