I have a two-receiver connection Technomate 5500ci to a 90cm dish

With twin lnb on one of the receivers there's no problem but with the other

I'm having problems with hotbird when I’m watching the Italian

Channels I'm fine but when I change channels it loses the signal

But if I turn off the receiver for 5 minutes the signal comes back.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated as this thing's driving me nuts!




Thanks.

Is the second receiver fully on or on stand bye when your problems occur? If so turn it fully off, ie no mains going to it.

They are both on one in living room and one in the bedroom.

Hi

Seems to me that the two receivers are conflicting with one another. Whenever I am running two receivers from one input I use a manual A/B switch to switch to either receiver one or receiver two. Perhaps other members have different views on this though.

Ah, so it isn't a twin LNB, it is a monobloc? Yes?

So how are you splitting it?
