Dreambox DM500S
Multi-LNB Dish (Wavefield Toroidal)
- My Location
- UK
Hi there,
I have a Dreambox DM500S which is connected to my multi-LNB dish (Wavefield Toroidal 90). I use three LNBs, one pointing at Hotbird (13 degrees east), one at Astra 1 (19 degrees east), and Astra 2(28.2 degrees east).
Apart from the Dreambox freezing occasionally, I have been having big problems with my setup recently. Firstly, when I turn the DB on or reboot it, it takes ages to get a channel. For example, it might take half an hour or so to get BBC1.
It's scary changing channel because sometimes when I do the new channel won't work, and then I can't get any channels at all.
The problem has got worse with time.
Nearly all of the time, the BER is very high. I have less problems with Hotbird.
I am trying to work out whether it is my box, or the dish that is causing these problems. The dish was configured by a professional company.
Does anybody have any suggestions about this?
