Actually, that's exactly what i'm going to try.... though i'm going to try to Y-connect the LNB together before the laser (i only have one, and they're very expensive...) i've done the math, and think there won't be any freq conflicts, but we'll see... i'll let everyone here know how it...

Try things like the programs on this page: http://www.all-internet-security.com/data_disaster_recovery.html When a file is "deleted" from your hard drive, it's not really erased. All that's really happening is the reference or pointer to that file is removed from the hard drive's...

Well, not really... i wasn't aware that there's a method for that. But really, at this point i'd be making progress just by getting the Nova to tune at all, though it looks like that will be a simple case of slap in a universal LNB.... I'm guessing that you don't know of an LNB that span the...

Rolfw, i do entirely agree that this is way more complex... but i cannot use a universal LNB because once the system is in place (not testing/setup) as now) there will be a fiber-optic link between the LNB(s) and the receivers......this is necessary because there's about a 1km distance from...

OK, back to this thread... Reading through the link i posted above, i find that polarization is switched by voltage supplied.... so, this is no problem. i'll give the LNB 18V to force it into Horizontal all the time. As mentioned over here...

Thanks guys.. this is great news, and on Monday (new shipment..) i'm going to go and buy a new LNB. But... i'm afraid that i can't use a universal one... here's the story: The receivers are located quite some distance (1km) from where i have to put the dish. Of course i have the...

errr.. am i a complete dumb@ss or what? no freqs below 11.700Ghz would certainly mean that i can't see Nova on 10930.... (tho 11823 and 12169 should be available..) and no, i had not seen a place anywhere in the Humax settings to tell it about the 10.750 LO........ in fact i haven't a clue...

OK, i've gotten another receiver.. a Scientific Atlanta D9238 (not sure model #, it's on the roof!) and no luck. It sees large (80%) signal strength, but no (0%) quality, all the time. no matter what. Even in locations that i can pull 'free' channels with the Humax. Even when pointed at...

interesting note number two.. also AFRTS (AFN, us military TV) is supposed to be on Hotbird too, and i never see that either....

The other question that comes to mind is this... i can buy a new LNB, no problem. But it's my understanding that LNB are often matched to the dish... If the problem is that the LNB is not right for NOVA, and i buy another identical one, it will not work either. (tho, this one is "universal"...

thanks for answering.. yah, i can get all sorts of horizontals.... at least i think so. i can tune to a station, and get the information about it, and it says it's H.... and i can get freqs both above and below the Nova ones... it's really wierd to me, and it's why i'm so stumped and...

Hello again everyone... sorry to be a pest, but i *still* can't get this thing running. As outlined in these posts: http://www.satellites.co.uk/php-bin/forum/showthread.php?t=26468 http://www.satellites.co.uk/php-bin/forum/showthread.php?t=26413 I've got a Humax IRCI5400Z, a Pansat dish/LNB...

Thanks.. i've downloaded Humbox 4.1 (gotta go get a null modem cable now...) and the latest files from humaxsettings.nl, but Nova does not appear in the list of services in that file... Nova is new, but not that new, i think (?!?) I'm not sure what you mean by the ability to add...

OK.. no PrimaFila, but i do get BBCWorld, but it's scrambled.... i'm getting it as part of Globecast, on 12446V, 27500 FEC 3/4... it shows up in channel #314 for me. Of course, as i said, it's scrambled.... so i think i've got something wrong. I looked in the threads you mentioned, but it...

Thanks! I'm not sure about PrimaFila or BBC World... i'll look to see that they are being tuned. I get a whole long list of possible services, including OTE (which is the greek telecom...) and the ones mentioned above. However, no Nova, and no Filmnet (which i need to tune to in order to...
