    Newbie Here Weird problem with new setup

    OK, the Inverto Black Ultra Quad is now installed. The verdict: Everything works perfectly! My twin tuner (after a factory reset) is seeing full signal and full quality on both inputs and my single tuner upstairs the same. One very happy camper here :) The design and build of the Inverto has a...

    Thanks Milamber. Yeah, I might be on the continent but I'm not on the fringes of the spotbeam here. My neighbour has a Sky minidish with no problems.

    Newbie Here Weird problem with new setup

    I've decided to sack the shop where I bought it, selling the incompatible one on eBay and bought a Inverto Black Ultra Quad from another (cheaper) shop as these seem to get the best reviews. I'll try a factory reset when I get the new quad LNB. Thanks again everyone!

    Newbie Here Weird problem with new setup

    Okay, I've managed to buy an old Alps BSTE 8 Universal Single LNB for €3. All channels are now working perfectly and I get full signal and full quality on both polarisations. Hallelujah! Thanks all so much for your advice. I was getting so incredibly frustrated and thought that I was doing...

    I'll do my best to try an alternative LNB. I must admit that I'm not looking forward to trying to swap the suspect LNB again as I got a pretty grumpy response at the shop the first time... The shop has the following models. Which one (if any) would you recommend? I looked on line for...

    @Lazarus: I thought that too when I started reading up about LNBs! It is a Megasat Multifeed LNB Quad. It definitely says quad on the label. I also tested all four outputs and they all give the same signal. @Captain Jack: I did check the voltages at the dish end - they were 14V and 18V. As I...

    Newbie Here Weird problem with new setup

    Dear all, I'm having a problem with polarisation. I have set up a 65 cm dish pointing at Astra 28.2E with clear line of sight. I'm well within the main spotbeam on the West coast of Holland. All equipment and cabling is new, except the Humax boxes which I bought refurbished directly from Humax...
