Anyone got the answer for the very weak signal for the Dm800? is there a Booster or signal amp on the market which can be recommended??? Last nights rain ,storms, sent my signal down to -20% so couldn't watch anything..

Re: Dreambox800

Maybe you have to configure your dreambox to add some voltage in your LNB ?

Sounds like your running a clone box these do suffer from low signal strengh if you have a very long cable run.

Most clone DM800's suffer from this problem and the only cure is an inline amp you should be able to pick one up cheap of ebay, a 20db one should cost around £6

Look if storms sent your signal down especially if it was pouring rain heavily well thats normal because in heavy downpours the sisgnal goes down considerably BUT if your signal remained the same after the rain stopped (and clouds cleared) then something is wrong with your setup....it could be your cable or rain got in your 'F' Connectors thus wetting the inside of your cable. On the other hand if you always experienced weak signals then you have to check your LNB and also the alignment of your dish and Motor (if you have one)

Normal dish setup don't make use of Booster or amplifiers if you have everything in order.

There may be some Tuner issues, like M rev is better than L rev

Re: Dreambox800

What is your position. Is there any Tree, Village, Castle , Houses front of your Antenna ?

P.S Weather conditions is also problem for signal if have rain, speedy wind or fog.

And not last but important Software of your dreambox if it is stock may be is not best soft but I never work with this receiver and my opinion for this receiver is not rate.

There are missing a lot of info... antenna type / size and if it's stable on wheather conditions, lnb type / characteristics, DM800 model / tunner model / software installed.
Whithout these informations everybody is guessing...

Re: Dreambox800

Kiss_ro is so right ! Antenna type is so important and material who made it. I have one antenna Voltel who is so thin. I have perfect point to point look to Satellite but wind and work time make changes. This Voltel antenna is 90cm and Quality on Hellas is 60-70%, with BulsatCom antenna 80cm good steel Quality is 98% from my position.

Your geographical position is different - the original post was for UK... so don't compare Hellas - it's orbit is pointing in your direction ... ..
