I hope GTmedia pays a few of you, because this kind of advertisement for them is simply priceless...

Has anyone got the Ka band LOFs working?? Loaded the new 17 sw tried 17250 which is a hundred out for my Hughes LNB, blind scanned 19E Ka nowt!! Entered it manually..nowt, put in the old 9750 from the menu and it works a treat, but obviously showing the wrong frequency. So first impression for me is something else they've added that doesn't work! Also the box crashed scanning 47W C band..

Note I'm using H instead of V to get more volts to the LNB, before anyone says I'm using the wrong polarity..

And why is the combo unable to display a picture with Sky Feeds on 16E? The V8 4K receiver has no problem ..20220605_094408.jpg20220605_094324.jpg

No, I got tracking info for a few days, then no further updates until it was delivered.
Bear in mind the tracking info was useless anyway though.

Scopus, I have the same software in my GT Combo and have no frequency error when using LOF=17250.

Hi Simon, not a error as such, but showing no signal unless I put back in a 9750 LOF. Are you saying yours is working? And did you factory reset the box after the new sw was installed? Thanks..

Just done a Blind Scan and it still gets the frequency right. In order to program my box for Ka sats I used a satellite at 117W and reprogrammed it to have a LOF of 17250. I don't use Diseqc here.

Cock, iv'e a feeling that DiSEqC is a bit flakey on the Combo, using either a EMP-Centauri or Spaun 8way DiSEqC switch i can watch a signal on the Promax screen and see the signal pulse On/Off - switching to another port i believe. Select a different LO setting and it behaves. When i spoke to Owen (tester) he thought it might be the supplied 1.5amp psu struggling that's causing the issue so iv'e been running my Combo on a bench psu for a while and monitoring the current consumption taken by the Combo/8way switch/Global active splitter/ lnb - NO motors used to drive the dish from the Combo, the maximum current consumption iv'e ever seen being drawn was just under 1amp, usually around 600mA average, so i don't think it's a psu problem but i do suspect something is upsetting the DiSEqC operation. Iv'e disconnected my 8way switch now for testing purposes but iv'e still got my suspicions it's a rx problem. Is it possible to quickly by-pass your switch, connect directly from the rx to the lnb on the dish and do a quick test ?.

John, seems bloody odd it will work when the 9750 LOF is selected which goes through my powered Diseqc multiswitch?? The Icone has a user LOF setting and had no problem, going through the same multiswitch, same Diseqc setting etc..I checked the Icone just to double check it wasn't a Diseqc/multiswitch problem..Not a big deal using 9750 LOF though..I think that DVB app the combo uses needs a re-write..
