[QUOTE="spiney, post: 175054, member: 192438"] As Rolfw said, what you have to do is determine whether there's lnb volts present at receiver lnb socket. Somehow. If the satfinder does anything at all, you've got lnb power (even a meter reading with no lnb means the internal amp's working, so must be powered!). Best thing to do is buy a very cheap multimeter from Maplin. Otherwise, a l.e.d. in series with a 1 kilohm resistor might do (you have to get the led the right way round, so try both ways!). Just twist the wires together, then join free ends to coax inner/outer. for example, see: [URL="http://www.maplin.co.uk/module.aspx?TabID=1&ModuleNo=44679&doy=19m3"]http://www.maplin.co.uk/module.aspx?TabID=1&ModuleNo=44679&doy=19m3[/URL] .
