Hi All,
Hope you may be able to help, just finishing a house rennovation and struggling to get the Satellite up and working.
The setup is 60cm Dish,Inverto.tv, 40mm Quattro LNB,Labgear , Labgear MS516E Multiswitch.
Cabling and Coax, Satellite originally done by the builder.
Sky HD Box - Thompson.
As the cables from the dish weren't labelled, through trial and error I have been able to get the following when connected direct to the box.
cable 1 - Nickletton - 606
cable 2 - BBC 1 (London/Se)
cable 3 - Sky Premier HD
cable 4 - Sky Sports 1 HD
On oocasions I've been able to get the cable 1 and cable 2 channels through the multiswitch, but never all. However if I power of the sky hd box I seem to loose everything , even when not using the switch. I've seen some suggestions around the 22 Khz on and off in the Sky installer mode and read of issues with the different inputs on the Sky box, and particular box issues with particular switches.
The Sky box often will seem to go to downloading schedule information when switched on?
So any advice on the general way forward , in particular :
Do I need to change and SkyHD installer settings, default transponder, single feed, 22khz mode or LNB poer ?
From the info above, can I be sure I'm using the correct , HH,VV inputs on the box ?
Do I have a switch/LNB/Dish/receiver issues or incompatibilities between the elements ?
Many thanks Sandy
