dm550s mate it works fine at mates house ;lost some free channels and others eden etc all those that lost lnr reading 63 %

if its fine at your m8's, then you need to check your set up. cabling, dish alignment, lnb etc

Hi there see if you have got the skew right on the lnb. maybe if its a little off you are picking up the stronger transponders. Try a little movement clockwise and then anti clockwise and get someone to watch the signal.

its the same transponders on the satellite and so uses the same frequencies and symbol rates etc

so no the 2 boxes dont use different frequencies

skew is the angle at which an lnb is turned in its holder when facing the dish face, and on a sky dish its turned slightly clockwise so that the cable leaves the botton at about 7 o clock and not straight down at 6 o clock

so whatever the sky box can do, so can the dreambox
