changed LNB Lost channels

[dynomikered]

Hi
I'm running a DM500 with pli open image with Sly
Problem is i have missing channels mainly kids and music but quite a few others are missing, the channels are there but nothing comes on when i select them. I changed the lnb 2 days ago but all the other channels work. would this be the problem ? . I have also flashed with a new image pli jade but still the same predicament. I have also done a transponder scan and come up with no extra channels
Help would be very much appreciated
Thanks
Mike

Are you getting a signal on these channels? Try moving the LNB slightly left and right and see if that helps.

When u say signal the on the info i have a yellow box insted of a green on the ND

It might just need skewing slightly to improve the signal, some transponders are weaker than others

if im getting a signal to sly sport would moving the lnb slightly affect the channels im not getting i.e if im getting sly sports shouldnt i get the others
thanks

When you said you moved the LNB what exactly did you do? Skewing means rotating the LNB when in it's holder.

I'd eliminate the box itself by taking it to a friends house first to see if you can pick up the missing channels, if it's all good then you might need to re-align the dish.

For re-alignment what I would do is set the LNB so it's straight vertical then use the signal strength on the box to re-align the dish, remember if you're getting some channels then only small minute movements left/right and up/down.

Once you've got the best signal then start skewing the LNB and again monitor the signal strength.

When you press the ok on your remote, look at the channel info in the banner that pops up on your screen, it should show your frequency & either H or V. The reason I ask is because it happened to me a while back, I noticed it was all the channels on H that were gone, the minute I changed the lnb and all was fine. Just a thought.

just a thought,check the cable ends [f connections] you may have a short,inner cable touching outer cable..

i have tried an old sky box on the same cable the dream box was connected to and it works fine. if the tuner had gone on the dreambox would i get any channles atall? i am still getting some sly channles, and as i said if i remove the cable connected to the sky box i get more channels on dreambox= weak tuner? :-@ i have had the box(clone) for 5 months surley theyshould last longer than this!

try reflashing the box with a different image,like commando 14 or nabilosat darkstar 2,set the box up and add your bouguet if you have the same problem it could possibly be your tuner,if you can pm me your email addy i can forward a bouguet for you to try..
