Hi there I think I have worked out this conundurum. It seems that it has to do with the latitude and longitude settings on the openbox. If you enter a row of 0000000's you get no signal on TV2 PL HD and you have to mark your precise lat and long in order for the signal and the transponder to...

Hi there, I am having a bit of trouble recently with my Openbox S10 receiver. A few days ago, I was receiving TV2 PL HD1, 2 & 3 perfect, however, these wont scan anymore on the thor 10747H transponder. When I manually check the transponder for signal strength, I am getting nothing at all. the...

Yes it's quite a high pitched beeping noise coming from what I thought was originally the lnb but probably in reality is the motor. It beeps for a while then statrts a dull ticking noise. I have disconnected the cable from the satellite box and switched off the mains and gradually it stopped...

I think it may be more of a motor fault than the LNB come to think of it. I am going to leave everything disconnected for 24 hours, then reconnect and see what happens. Will let forum know what happens.

Thanks for reply. Noise has just stopped a couple of minutes ago, but still wondering what it could have been. This has never happened before, I do have a motor on the dish and it could have been that. The ticking and beeping was still evident when all power was switched off. Just had a look...

Please help. There is an awful beeping and ticking noise coming from my LNB, it started last night and it is gradually getting louder. I have disconnected the power supply and the cable to the box, but it hasn't solved the problem. The LNB is an Inverto Black Ultra and is only a few months...

Found a solution. Will use RCA to scart and see if that works.

Hi there, I have just bought an openbox S10 and found out that it just has the hdmi socket and no scart connection.Before I go out and spend money on a video sender, will a video sender work with an S10? Any advice appreciated. jb000

Thanks, will do back up and try again.

Hi there, wonder if anyone can help me. Is there another good software package for the dm500 to install bouquets apart from dreambox edit. I used dreambox edit according to the letter and it crashed my machine, it took nearly the whole weekend to get things back to normal. Any advice...

Many thanks for the advice guys. I have had a long think about this overnight and I have decided to cut my losses and go out and buy the conventional 80cm dish so that the installer can fit the motor to it and install it. The selfsat will be put on ebay. I know I will be taking a financial...

Yes it does. I had the dish mounted on a tripod in the garden to pick up hotbird, I remembered I had to set the elevation and tighten the bracket to 30 degrees. If push really came to shove and it isn't compatible, I can rush out and get an 80cm conventional with Lnb. A place in Middlesbrough...

The motor is both Disecq and USALS. Looking at it. it seems not to have a model number apart from HH90. Looking on google images these two motors appear to be the same, however, I am worried that there might be individual fittings for the selfsat motor that the fortec star doesn't have. It is...

Hi there, wonder if anyone can help me. In previous posts I mentioned that I have one of those 'Selfsat' white square plastic dishes. I decided that I wanted to motorise it and checked the internet to see what type of motor I needed. Upon checking it was compatible with the HH90 rotor motor...

Problem Solved.I managed to get a lock eventually to hotbird after a little bit of tinkering. I also noticed that that ground I put the tripod on was not completely level so I moved it onto level ground.Many thanks to those who replied.jb000
