Is that not what the sat box does? Becuase the sat box just stays at ~70%

The issue I have is that I live a fair distance and am not at my grandmothers regularly so the meter has not arrived yet and when it does I do not know when I will be back to the house. I thought the cheap ebay ones would give me the same results as my box, do they read signal or what the...

Hi, Right now I have the settings of: 18v skew on universal 22khz tone auto hotbird 13E searchmode auto lnb skew -12 10815H 27500 5/6 So the new LNB I have is universal? - Also should I be on 18V or 14V. I really should have atleast some flick up or down with signal/quality even if I move the...

Simply no, The box did use to work on the same dish but in a different house. I have also two other boxes but without controllers, they are set up for hotbird but thats all the info I can get from them, they also produce no channels etc. If the box is responding to the new cable in terms of...

Hi all, I am trying to align the dish over and over again and still nothing. I would expect that while I have a live reading of signal and quality on my tv and that I am moving the dish that I should be able to see a fluctuation of signal or quality. Also I have completely replaced the...

Hi, thanks for all the replies. I am indeed in the UK, South Wales infact. I am going to rerun a new cable anyway but It seems odd that I do not get anything at all. If the dish is out of alignment even slightly, would I still get some 'quality'? The motor was fed by 36v it looks like - It has...

Hi, I am getting 44 signal and no quality, Even with a cable not connected to any lnb and dish ( cable is in box then other end not plugged into anything. I am guessing that is all noise. And the dish is in the right direction of 13E and I move it back and forth and get no changes. Could my new...

Hi all, I will try to answer all questions: I do indeed only want Italian so I believe the motor can be taken completely out of the equation. I think the dish is aligned to 13E. It was working on that alignment a few years ago and checking again online it looks like it is in the correct...

I have a card (do not know if it works) and I think atleast a few of the rai channels are still free. I am not even picking up one channel from any country. It is as if LNB and dish ar enot even connected to the box because I have no signal or anything when I plug the cable into the box.

To a33: The dish is in the 'relative' location of the satellite - The motor itself is broke - I have tried the same with two other boxes - I have no system for finding satellites apart from the signal icon from the box To Channel Hopper: This is really for my grandmother which wants to watch...

Those settings still show me the same lack of signal quality and scan shows nothing. I have attatched two pictures with the settings I am using. I have tried changing the settings and these are the defaults, I have turned the skew up and down and to 0 and still the same. the settings seem to...

What I have got right now is, The coax cable directly connected to the LNB and other end to the sat box (Manhattan SKYLINE1000). I have redone all the connectors and even taken them off and tried putting the bare copper end into the recievers (I know its not good but for a test and the results...

Hi, I hope someone can help me. I had a cira 25 year old Grundig dish, LNB and motor. Now I have replaced the LNB with a cheap SKYSAT make. I have not used the unit for a long time and the motor is now broke (I think). I have tested the cable with a multimeter just to see if there are any breaks...
