[QUOTE="momtic, post: 73271, member: 186604"] Hi all, I have a strange problem. Here is my setup: southwest Germany location 85 cm dish with 2 LNBs, one on Astro, one on Hotbird Diseq switch on dish mount. HB is channel 1, Astra is 2 (crappy) motor drive with manual buttons - no control from receiver Humax 5400 with reasonably recent ToH Here is the problem. I installed two LNBs to avoid using the motor, which is loud and unreliable. I can get plenty of stations from Hotbird, but only a few from Astra. By looking at these few, I found that the receiver was only finding Astra stations with the lowest Symbol Rate (SR), specifically 22000 5/6. I could not even manually get signal from known transponders with higher SR (i.e. 27500 3/4). I moved the dish over to point the other LNB at Astra, and the receiver had no problems finding high SR stations. For what it's worth, I have also sometimes noticed that it takes some time for signal to come through when I switch between stations on different satellites, and sometimes I need to pick a third station to "force" the switch. In principle, I can do more tests, like switching LNBs, cables, etc. but it involves climbing up on the roof - zero fun. Any ideas? Thanks in advance... [/QUOTE]
