Trying to sort out a problem for a friend today ( who helped me lift a 1.4 dish yesterday into an impossible position, near death experience! ) when I found an unusual problem.
Old tv with stb works ok ( ish ) pixels even on strong txp´s so there is a problem with that which I will take up with the company who put the system in.
The main problem, when you attempt to fit a new TV, stb states no signal. I have managed to work out that new tv ( only two pin connection ) and old tv ( three pin connection ) one works , one does not. Have also worked out that if I earth the two pin stb on the new two pin tv signal comes back up.
Tested incoming cable and approx 7v ac from the screen, thus knocking out the signal from the dish/ multiswitch. Made a manual earth connection to the stb and all ok, but without, nothing.
I would have thought that the multiswitch should be earthed to prevent this, but this is Spain! Cannot access the equipment due to locks, but have told my mate I will prove the problem to the guts who fitted the system if required.
Any thoughts from the revered members of the forum who are used to dealing with such systems?
