i have 4 cables from QUAD LNB - 2 going into a kitchen STB (dual tuner), 2 going into lounge STB (dual tuners) - same ZGEMMA units.

kitchen unit is fine
lounge however, if i goto talking pictures on Tuner A - no signal, however, if i goto bbc one hd it has a 19db signal (still on tuner A). If i then hit record, and then go to Talking Pictures forcing the signal to switch to tuner B - then Talking Pictures is fine.

Wtf ?

I thought about polarity V \ H - but talking pictures is V and so is bbc1 hd

10818.00
V

cant be signal, or i wouldnt be getting 19db on bbc one hd - on Tuner A

LNB fault ???

Can anyone fathom?

Have you tried switching the receivers round, to confirm where the problem lies?
