[QUOTE="sonnetpete, post: 756914, member: 310216"] Yes, I peaked the LNB as best I could on the meter whilst at the dish. I knew it wouldn't be perfect, but I was expecting to at least achieve a lock on one other C-Band sat. It doesn't matter too much right now, as I've taken the C-Band LNB off and replaced the Ku. My stepdaughter arrives on Thursday and she will neither appreciate the nuances of C-Band or trying to get her head round the Dr.HD. I'll be changing back to the VU+ on Thursday morning, that one she can work easily. Talking of the VU+, I'm wondering if, in the basic initial set up there's a setting to enable the power to a C-Band LNB. That's what I meant by 'turning the LNB off'. I couldn't get a peep on the VU+ last night, nor could I when I tried at the receiver end of the cable with my meter. When I connected back up to the Dr.HD it worked perfectly. However, I can't remember seeing a setting to turn the LNB power on or off. [/QUOTE]
