[QUOTE="dodecahedron, post: 849919, member: 401013"] Hi, I finally decided to get a motorised satellite system and have a problem. I set everything up according to the blurb that came with it and all the guides available on forums. To set it up I used usals to go to Thor at 1w it showed signal at 53% but quality at 0%. I then went to astra at 28.2 where the signal was 74% and quality about the same. I then went back to Thor to tweak the dish settings , went back up the ladders for the umpteenth time and connected a konig sat finder in line. I disconnected the receiver cable from the motor and connected that to the meter and took the patch lead to the motor, I turned the control knob as it said in the instructions to bring the scale up to 5 at which point the meter started to whine ?? so i turned it back a little and tried flexing the dish to see how the signal changed but the meter never moved, went back down into the house and the on screen display was showing no signal at all. I disconnected the meter reconnected the cables, no signal, Ive checked the F connectors and can't see a problem. I suspect something has got fried either the LNB or the box or both. The instructions for the meter right at the end say that if the LNB exceeds 60 db gain you should fit a 5 db attenuator between the LNB and the meter. The LNB is an Icecrypt 0.1db when has a gain dead on 60 db. I hope some of you knowlegable guys will be able to help. Thanks [/QUOTE]
