My Satellite Setup
Laminas 1.2M fibre dish with an IBU, on a Clarke Tech USALS motor, covering 57E - 24.5W to an Octagon SX88. Displayed on a 20" Dyon LED TV.

Seperate 80 cm dish on 28E with a Humax Freesat for SWMBO.
Free Sat V8 meter. Sony Bravia 46" LCD, Sony BluRay and Home Cinema.

Having looked at an image of the F3 rear panel, top connector seems to be LNB and underneath LOOP. Therefore if the black cable is connected correctly to the quad, it should be in the top position.

What is the white cable connected to? Also what is the text under each connector?
It’s the loop

Pleased we could help you get it sorted. However, out of curiosity, where does the white cable go? If not to another receiver, I'd remove it to avoid confusion in the future...

Agree taking it out…. Don’t need this headache again. Will keep a note of the settings as The Astra 2 doesn’t seem to be the default. Thanks a million again.
