Hi all i have a 7020si which was running perfect using nabilosat image i connected up to the dreambox from idream on my mac and deleted the recordings i had made on the hdd, while i was deleting them, the dreambox turned itself off and now all thats happening is, it gets to the nabilosat image...

He checked that it was pointing due south then he told me to send the dish to 28.2 East and then he so called "tweaked it". I was inside at the time so dont know exactly how he tweaked it.

Hi you where correct Rai Uno there is nothing wrong with my Lnb. I have ended up getting an engineer out of local paper he used to do motorised sysems till his meter blew up, but he has only set my dish to 28.2 East but now cannot get any other satellites any suggestions?

Thanks its a Super Dark Motor Ill try those settings tomorrow and report back hopefully with good news thanks for the advice

Hi I have had a look at the bracket on the motor and both sides are marked as lattitude, here is the table from the motor I used any suggestions like do I change the motor angle to 53 deg? Rai Uno when I said move the dish around I ment with the motor as in move the whole thing around the...

Right I have taken that onboard will try later and check the scales as you have said I think you could be right im putting to many errors together so ill start from the beginning and get back to you. Thanks again Rai Uno your a gent.

thanks for that Rai Uno i have made a cable as you suggested with still the same results, even with no meter in just connected to the LNB the signal strength is still 59-60%.

Hi forgot to add when testing the motor with the dish in the front room the signal reading was still 50-60% that is what makes me think I have a dodgy LNB.

Hi Guys hope you can help I have bought a 85cm dish, motor, Lnb set up off ebay and have a 7020 dreambox. I have followed all the install instructions and set up the dish, mount etc but wherever i point the dish the sat finder just makes a noise with no change in pitch. And the signal strength...
