Hi
First you will have to forgive me as I am a bit of a techno noob when it comes to sat systems so will try to explain as best I can.
I have a 1.8m dish (am in Spain so need a fair size one) and a Satellite Receiver by Galaxy Innovations, the following model to be exact:
-http://www.galaxy-innovations.es/en/receivers/GICOMBO6699E.html
[warning]Live links are not allowed: I have disabled it[/warning]
When the system was setup everything was working fine, we got all Sky channels and quality was fine but then one day for no reason most of the channels had no signal so I cleared the channel list and did the search again. After searching we had only a fraction of the channels and was missing channels like MTV, Sky News, Sky 1, Boomerang and many others including most of the HD ones. Now it picked up quite a few Sky Sports channels but even though the box says I am on Sky Sports 3 the picture is actually Sky Sports 1. I was advised to do a blind scan which I did and now I have many duplicates of the same channel, for Sky Sports we have 18 channels all showing SP1 or SP2.
In another room we have an old Sky Receiver which works fine so I tried the Galaxy box in that room and the same thing happened so can rule out any cable problems.
I then decided to play around with the settings and I turned off LNB power (it was 13/18) and scanned again and this time it picked up the MTV channels, Boomerang, Sky 1 (Still many HD channels missing) but with the power off the ones that were working with LNB power on stopped working. The Sky Sports channels were still messed up and after a scan we had 25 SP1 and SP2 channels.
So at the moment we are having to turn LNB power on or off when we want to watch certain channels. I have been told that some LNB´s can send through too much power to some boxes which could be causing the problem - is this possible? I have tried scanning various satellites which similar results.
I have tried setting the receiver back to factory settings via the settings menu but even though it removes the favourites and channel list not all settings are reset, there doesnt seem to be a hard reset switch or anything that I can find.
Anyone experienced anything similar?
Appreciate any advice, many thanks, Dave
