[QUOTE="red, post: 53274, member: 181578"] Hello again everyone... sorry to be a pest, but i *still* can't get this thing running. As outlined in these posts: [url="http://www.satellites.co.uk/php-bin/forum/showthread.php?t=26468"]http://www.satellites.co.uk/php-bin/forum/showthread.php?t=26468[/url] [url="http://www.satellites.co.uk/php-bin/forum/showthread.php?t=26413"]http://www.satellites.co.uk/php-bin/forum/showthread.php?t=26413[/url] I've got a Humax IRCI5400Z, a Pansat dish/LNB combo and a valid Irdeto card for Nova networks. I can see the Hotbird just fine, and can search and recieve all sorts of channels, all the ART stuff, IRIB etc. However, no Nova. I asked over at [url="http://www.humaxsettings.nl"]http://www.humaxsettings.nl[/url] and they kindly send me a nice .hnf file. I d/l Humbox 4.1, made a null-modem cable and uploaded successfully. With the Nova information in the box, all i can get is "E37, Service not available" I took the boxes (i have two...) to the Nova offices, where they were helpful enough to plug the boxes into their equipment and verify that my cards are active (one was, one wasn't). They activated the second card. While there, the one box that i had uploaded with the humaxsettings.nl information worked great. It was easily able to pull in all the Nova stations, no problem. With the other (unloaded) i did a "quick search" on Hotbird while there, and of course, it found all the Nova service and it worked great. I checked the "status" menu for signal strength/signal quality, and it was worse than what i get at home! At home i get (currently) about 60% strength and 74% quality. At the Nova offices, it was 45% for both. I'm totally stumped here. I have a matched Pansat offset antenna and LNB, and i can tune/get everything else on the satellite just fine. At the Nova office, using my equipment, i can tune Nova just fine. However, at home i can't. All i can conclude is that i have somehow fried my LNB, and that it is not working right.... since the dish is just a dish, and the LNB is the only part i did not test in the Nova office. I'm concerned though, that it's NOT the LNB, since it can obviously pull in everything else... it finds all the channels on the other services, and the ones not scrambled come in really great (not that i need another GodTV.. ;-) So... before i go buy a new LNB (shot in the dark...) does anyone have any insight at all? Once again tonight i'm going to set it on "slow search" to search every possible freq/SR/FEC combo and see what i get... And above all, thanks a TON for all the help you've already given... red [/QUOTE]
