Hi all
I am attempting to install a fixed dish but having some problems I hope someone can help with.
I have an 80cm dish that was previously fitted in my garden. I now have to move this so have taken it down, relocated it and run a new cable to the dish. I have a good line of sight.
I have used a compass to find 28e and also have a slx sat finder (no idea how to use it though). I have adjusted the angle to try and find the sat but no joy.
No matter what I do I cannot get a signal. I am using an DM500s. For SNR I only get 59% constantly with ACG at 87-90% My BER is jumping all over the place.
I have redone the f connectors umpteen times and am happy that they are well connected (I followed the guide on the motorised sat installation thread). The cable run is about 12m.
I have tried two different LNB's with the same results. I have also plugged the DM500 into my sky dish and get a strong signal.
Is there anything I can try that I have not? Any suggestions would be gratefully recieved.
Many thanks
