    Losing channels on a frequent basis

    New LNB ordered. Fingers crossed it does the trick but if not the problem must be the cables themselves.

    Losing channels on a frequent basis

    Hi Guys Here is an update. I tried re-aligning my minidish for the best signal possible. I used a digisat pro meter and noticed that the signal strength was far greater when I powered this device from a Dreambox 500 clone than from my Sky+ box which supported the theory that there was not...

    Losing channels on a frequent basis

    Hi I think I should do some more testing. The second input signal sometimes drops off so this may be pointing to a problem with the cable as you said or with the lnb. Next time it happens I'll be more pro-active in tracking the problem down.

    Losing channels on a frequent basis

    Hi Thanks for the help It's a Pace box but as you say this could be suffering from the power supply problem. I suppose if I hook up a fta box and try and watch BBC2 when it is unwatchable on Sky this may provide further clues. What is odd is that BBC 2 south west breaks up but BBC 2 Wales etc...

    New Linux Technomate

    Not sure if AI am senior enough to answer your question but life with a TM 9100 really is good. I'm running the latest ur008 beta 3 image and it's as stable as the gemini images I used to run on my Dreambox 7000 and I've had no random resets or freezes. The hard disk install was a breeze and I...

    Missing Channels Amstrad DRX550

    I swapped out my ancient Pace box for the Amstrad which I bought as a refurb off of Fleabay. After realising that I needed to buy a revision 8 remote control it worked far better than it did out of the box. I have a few missing channels such as Sky One and some Animal Planet stuff Jut get...
