Unless you have a keen interest in the Weather (and that feature currently doesn't work anyway) then your reference to WiFi suggests you might be using a Cardshare ...................

If so, are you paying for it?

As regards Firmware, most of us are running the new Version 20.09.12.

Only Versions including and later than May 2012 have working WiFi features.

If your Firmware does have working WiFi, have you ticked DHCP and set up a fixed IP address in relation to your Router?

As no-one has answered no-one has an answer for you. Tethering via a mobile phone is something very few people will have tried.

To be honest if you want the data connection to work as expected you are probably better off doing it properly with a broadband connection.

The LNB settings should be Universal (9750/10600 MHz). Set it to this, then leave it alone - changing it will only cause more problems.

As for pairing, well increasing numbers of pay providers are setting their sytems up so that the cards only work in their dedicated receivers.

As you dont have a signal on the sports channels there is no point in subscribing to them yet - you need to find out what the problem, is before you spend you Leks.

It could be something as simple as water in the coax cable, or the dish being marginally misaligned, or the lnb being "deaf" at one particular frequency. Or it could be something else of course....

Unfortunately there is no easy way to find out - you have to eliminate each possible cause one by one.

If you have a damaged cable and water in it, then its perfectly possible to lose one frequency and no others - I have had exactly this in the past when one of my cables filled up with rainwater!

And despite the kit being new, its certainly not unknown to find a lnb performs poorly at one or more frequencies.

Are you using the auto scan @bleros?
If so the default transponder (tp) data probably hasn't been updated.

Try manually going into the transponder edit sreen and add the tp to appropriate satellite.

Can take a few pictures in you any?

Maybe in LNB have water i will check it,cable is all inside insured with bowel, and when rain quality is 10% to poor channels freeeze what can i do for it?
SOo if i get sport channels will not work on skybox f3 cuz u said with dedicated reveivers?

THAT sounds like a marginally misaligned dish, or water getting into the cables.

So you think to move dish right left or up down.. quality of HD channels is litle poor from SD channels

The first thing to try is to adjust the positioning of the lnb. Twist it slightly and move it in and out of the holder a little at a time and see if you can get a better signal..

If that doesnt work then try flexing the edge of the dish lightly - push in one side then the other, then top and bottom.

Hi bleros. Have you got a friend with a dish that's capable of receiving 16e. I know it sounds like a right mess around, but whenever I've hit a brick wall it's good to try another dish/system to make sure it isn't the receiver playing up.
By the sounds of things it probably isn't the rec. playing up.

It also cannot be the broadcast standards as the other transponder are using similar parameters. The first thing I'd do is change the LNB.
Failing that, I'd look for anything causing interference like a DECT cordless phone for example.

If you cannot get to the bottom of things and have exhausted these options, then maybe use a digital sat meter set to the particular transponder and see if there's any quality/ber.
