[QUOTE="lazy_magician, post: 1092701, member: 415505"] Hi Guys, I have a weird problem; I was hoping someone here could help me with. I live in the Republic of Ireland and am trying to receive free to air channels on Astra 28.2E. I have 2 satellite dishes, one for my house and one for my shed. I installed both with a cheap satellite finder. I had been using cheap blade media satellite receiver boxes for both. Never had any problems. Now, I came across a new combo receiver called an iview hd box (another cheapie). I bought it because I can replace my android box and satellite box This works fine in my shed. Receives around 80% signal strength and quality. The blade media box works in both my shed and my house, 80% signal strength and quality in both. The iview HD box receives 80% signal strength in the shed but 0% (weak or no signal) in the house. Now, I thought that I may have an incompatible LNB on the dish for the house, but today, I swapped them over. I checked the blade media box in the house with the shed’s LNB, and its at 80% signal strength 80% quality, same as with the other LNB. The iview HD box is still at 0%. I noticed how confusing this all sounds, so I put it in a table to try to make it clearer. [ATTACH type="full"]131664[/ATTACH] There is nothing fancy in my cables, it goes straight from the dish through one connection to a wall socket to the receiver box. I have got to say that the dish for the house is a rusty, could that be the issue? So if I’m right, this means the iView HD box is incompatible with the satellite dish for the house. Is this possible? TLDR, have 2 receiver boxes, one works with both my satellite dishes, one only works with one. Have tried swapping the LNB but results are the same. Need to know if it is possible that the dish is the problem. Wondering whether it could be that the rusty dish works fine with one receiver but will not work with the other. [/QUOTE]
