[QUOTE="a33, post: 1146455, member: 332642"] Are we sure 13E is port A, and 19E is port B with this monoblock? Or is it vice versa? Till we've made that sure/tested, I wouldn't count on it. That is a pity. Have you left the dish elevation unchanged (I hope so!), or have you changed that as well? We need to get back to get a (any!) signal, and go from there (then determine which satellite, which head, which diseqc port). In that phase, it isn't really important what diseqc setting you have, I would say. The skew issue, however, might be important to find a satellite signal. For Portugal, that would be about -25 degrees, so when looking into the dish, rotate the monoblock between 20 an 30 degrees clockwise! The satellite finder needs to show light, as a sign that it receives power. The beep indicates signal: however, when receiving NOTHING, you should turn the sensitivity knob so that you have a just slight beep. When you change the dish setting, and the beep gets stronger, you might get to where a satellite is. In that case, reduce the sensitivity (make the beep less loud), and try to adjust the dish to a even louder beep; and so on. I hope you are still on the same elevation, so that you might get the same signal as before, just by rotating the dish around the pole. Is this procedure clear to you? Greetz, A33 [/QUOTE]
