[QUOTE="DLD-UK, post: 1159606, member: 419979"] I have a dish with an octo LNB feeding 3 rooms in my house. For a while I've been getting errors in NextPVR saying recordings couldn't lock on to a channel. I've never understood why that happens? Is that an LNB problem or does it happen for other reasons? I'm in the UK about 25 miles north of London. Now I get no signal in all rooms (the other rooms have Freesat boxes). I guess that means the LNB has died. Is that likely to be correct? I assume the cables to all rooms couldn't have died at once? If so, what octo LNB should I now buy? With my current LNB I have always had problems when it rains with recordings breaking up. Does that mean the LNB was never very good or is that standard? I am a novice user. I managed to get NextPVR setup and working on Windows but I'd now like to move to a Linux media server with more tuners and maybe a terrestrial card too. There don't seem to be many PC tuner cards available in the UK now though. Should I be looking to do something else? Any help much appreciated. [/QUOTE]
