    Re: Wrong signals

    If the switch is faulty it's no use to change diseqc settings (single, A/B etc ...).
    I would bypass it with a patch plug (female/female) and check each LNB, one by one.

        Try 11372 V QPSK 24500 7/8

        If you truly are pointing at Thor you should tune in about 15 or 16 channels on that transponder frequency.

          If you have a smart phone use a app like satellite director or dish pointer to help in aligning your dish, you can also go to dish pointer website, put your address in select your satellite Thor, this will show a line from your house in the direction of your satellite.

            I think you need to download a new channel list, or even a new database for your receiver M8. The Sats you are quoting no longer exist. Intelsat 10-02 Thor 5/6 is what you should have at .8 W.Also a lot of the transponders will also have changed. Find a channel list and update first as you certainly will never sort it out otherwise. You should also give some information as to which receiver you have this will also help people to help you.

              Okey, I think it is the Dish, but i get channels, like 12 channels now, from Turkey, i have reflashed the DM800SE, I did get all Viasat channels, from Sirius, but now they are gone too, "after search for Thor", but still nada, what do you think ? just buy a new dish ?

              And what Image shuld i try ? SIM is : A8P

                In short, no, I would not rush out and buy a new dish! I don't think your dish is faulty, I think it might be badly aligned, but it's unlikely to be faulty unless it has received some major damage!

                The problem is you seem to be jumping from one solution to another. You could do with reading through your entire thread and answering all of the questions I and the other users posting have put to you. It is very hard to help with sporadic and incomplete answers to the questions we are asking you.

                I'm sure we'll get there in the end, but you need to help us to help you by being more methodical in your reading of the thread so far

                  Hehe, I see, sorry for that.

                  Okey lets try again:

                  I have a dreambox DM800SE "clone", I have a Dish with 2LNB`s. When i first started up the dreambox,i got good signals for Thor(0,8) and Sirius(4,8). After some days, its start raining, and all went away, 0 SNR. After this I only have got problems. When i search for Thor(0,8) "singel LNB" i get false positiv, SNR is about 80. When i then go to Sirius(4,8) i get the same SNR, and get all Services...
                  I use Blackhole :"OpenBlackHole_dm800se_SSL82_DTS_CrossEPG_Cron_DE BHGUI_with_AUTO-DVBT_DynDNS_v4_Jan2012"

                  hope this give more info, sorry bad english.
                  Edit: And also i use : diseqc 2 in 1 out

                    Re: Wrong signals

                    it seems to me that after a rain and wind your dish has moved and so you need to set up everything again and make use of the advice and start the settings from one LNB.

                      I have moved, just fake signals.

                        hi mate

                        I would like to give an advice

                        Forget everything...

                        Make a new start

                        First of all, load to your box the latest satellite.xml
                        Then, be sure that your dish is ok ( no rust or damages).

                        Use only one lnb (in the center) and a new cable.

                        Connect the lnb-cable-receiver and try to find the satellite you want.
                        Use a ready made list, and select a channel that you know that has strong signal.

                        Use the the satfinder or you box, and even a friend with a phone , in order to align correctly your dish.

                        When your are ok with that, you can add the second lnb and and aligning it to have the strongest signal.

                        Keep in mind to put correctly the settings of the diseqc in your box.

                          Re: Wrong signals

                          Yes, start from scratch with only one LNB and no diseqc.
                          So you will test LNBs and last the switch.
                          Dish is a passive component and it can't be faulty... unless it is broken in two parts !!!

                            If you are getting Turkish channels then it sounds like you are on 7E as that is the closest sat to where you seem to be focusing on that has a large amount of these channels, If these are coming in on the Lnb that is switched for 4.8E then move the dish very slightly to your left as you look at it and then re-check, if they are on the Thor Lnb then you are way off and it will take a lot more trial and error to sort out. Keep in mind that as you move West the dish inclination needs to be raised very slightly too.It might be worth your while to buy a cheap signal meter to help you with this, remember very small movements and check after each.
