Dreambox will not scan

[dayion]

Hi all,
just wanted to pick your brains on an issue i am having with my setup. I have a dreambox 500 attached to a 1m triax with monoblock for 13 e and 19e. It has been fine for a couple of years but as been ofline for a while whilst we have been redecorating the living room. Now i have come to set it up again when i am trying to scan for transponders with toneburst the box always restarts itself as soon as i select scan. At first i thought it could be a tuner fault, but have attached my sky dish and it tuned in fine. Has anyone else had this problem or knows how to fix?

Many thanks for any input you can give me.

Hi @dayion,

Have you checked for a short circuit on the coax to the monoblock LNB or more likely, directly in the F Plug from the mono', attaching to the Dreambox?

Best wishes, John.

i havent checked as yet, i am using a signal combiner though. could this be causing this?

Yes - disconnect it and see if the problem goes away!
