Hi, I have just finished installing my satellite system at my new house (after several months of "i'll do it tomorow"). Anyway, it is a 90cm dish on an IRTE omniview motor and a Technomate 1500CI+ sat receiver.
I have got it up and running on most satellites, but on every satellite there are a few transponders with no signal, whereas on others they have quite a strong signal.
I know that it is not the receiver because I have just tested the 28.2 east on the motorised system and my sky digital system that was installed by sky. On my motorised system there were a few transponders without signal, whereas on the sky system all the transponders were active.
I suspect two things that could be the problem:
1. the coax cable
2. the LNB
The coax cable is leftover cable from my aerial installation. It is brown coloured without any markings providing ohms etc. So. I think that it may not be capable of carrying some satellite signals.
The LNB is quite old and this may have an effect on the missing transponders and may need replacing. Or the LNB rotation may have something to do with it. At the moment the LNB is adjusted to get the best signal quality from 30W.
It would be much appreciated if anyone could advise me how to sort it out. Thanks, lasharratt
