DB 500s not showing connection to dish?

[robbi]

Hi I have DB clone 500s. First let me say that in back of box where you plug LNB in, it does not say LNB it says Antenna. But on the front panel it saids dreambox 500s.I have pli-jade-dm500-20080718-5335 installed. Well I got a dtv 36inch world dish with Sadoun HH sg2100 motor I think that is the model. With VSU. When I connected dreambox to my motor and world dish I could not make any sense out of it. everytime I conected DB to motor, motor would move I could not tell what was going on. So I put up a 18inch dish today. And went to satellite configurtion page and set it to, One single satellite (110.0W) to see if I can get that sats FTA channels. Then I went to Satfind page. It showed this,SNR 60%/ nO LOCK/ AGC 0% / BER 65520. tHEN I went to autoscan and scanned 110.0W it said O transponders where fond 0 channels. It said Verify antenna / cable setup. Or try another satellite/network. I know the dish is right on with 85% Q on my VSU. Anyone know anyhing about it? :hmmmm2:

I just put a volt meter to Antenna termal in back of box, there is no voltage coming out for LNB. When I went on satfind page there was like 3-7 volts coming from Antenna termal. I need 18volts for my LNB. I have pli jade-DM500 image, in this image you can just press increase volts but it only bought it up to 7 volts. You cannot pick 14-18 Vs. I think ths box is a mistake. Can anyone confirm this for me please?

Is there F-connector or IEC-connector (male)?

It seems to me like you are trying to run before you can walk. Why don't you start from scratch with this sticky and see how you get on.
