[QUOTE="c128, post: 832606, member: 332428"] As a follow-up to the above, I've now tried out my SH500G in a cleaner environment - a 90cm dish at someone else's property setup to have high signal strength and quality feeding a Humax Foxsat HDR. This is a well setup dish, receiving all Freesat HD channels without issue, regardless of the weather. I was going to provide a table here of my results, but it would be a bit pointless - I scanned every DVB-S2 frequency currently listed by Lyngstad for 28.2 and can confirm that none of them would lock with my SH500G. All DVB-S2 frequencies cycle between lock/unlock on the display, with the strength/quality bars registering green and then falling to red when lock fails - none of them [I][B]ever [/B][/I]lead to the lock LED illuminating and there is no stability to actually tune anything based on a DVB-S2 frequency. I have some videos to upload too, which I will do later, but they're basically the same as posted earlier. So...unless there are some different versions of these meters out there, with differing hard/firmware than we've already listed on this thread, they seem to have an inherent fault with regard to locking DVB-S2 frequencies.
