I've spent 2 days trying to get a signal - please point out my basic error before I throw the lot in the canal.
I bought an echostar dsb 808 on ebay last year along with a new invacom lnb (.3db) but only got round to getting a dish last week (82cm) – I decided to try setting it up in the garden before scaling the house!!
I’ve tried pointing it just about everywhere, I tried the lnb that came with the dish as well as the new one, I’ve tried replacing the f connectors and I’ve tried shouting and swearing – no matter what I do the signal strength is about 10% and if I try searching for channels there are none to be found – surely I should be able to get something even from a low viewpoint (theres not too much in the way) – am I missing something basic and foolish or is the receiver knackered.
As you can tell I’m new to this so treat me like the idiot I obviously am.
