Hi friends,
First I need to say that I am a complete newbie in this world. I've bought 2 years ago a DM800 with a DE blackhole image and CCCAM already installed and never had one single problem. I have 2 lnbs in DiSeq 1.1 and everything was configured and worked 100%.
As I moved home, I decided to buy the DM500HD so I could have tv in 2 rooms at the same time.
The problem I am having is the following:
- Both boxes work very well if at least one of them is not running the CCAM.
- As soon as I initiate the CCAM in both, one of the boxes (always the DM800) loses one of the the satellite signal. The other satellite works ok, and in both boxes I have image. The satellite configured as LNB1 is lost.
Do you guys know the reason for this? Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks,
JS
Hi there, thanks for your quick reply.
In fact although I don't really understand much about it, I thought it was strange too. When I initiate the CAM (blue button and chose CAM) the second box satellite signal is lost. If I set it back to None, the signal is back to the second box.
Can it be related with the configuration of the DiSeq? I have a 2 way splitter to send the signal to both boxes.
Thanks once again.

After have read some info on the net, I think I found the solution to my problem.
The problem (I think)is that I have a single diseqc and I'm trying to control it from 2 different receivers. In fact I was wrong when previously I said that the signal was lost when I turn the CAM on. The signal is lost when I change the channel in one of the boxes. It works fine if I'm watching the same channel in both boxes (sometimes it works for some reason - maybe same transponder? - for different channels) but as soon as I try to watch different satellites, it stops working on the other receiver.
Solution? I think I have to go with 2 diseqc switches.
Hope this can help somone in the future.

Do you have to seperate lines mate
As you cant run the same line on 2 boxes at the same time
Hope this helps ............Paul

yes I do have 2 lines. I've ordered a second diseqc on the net and will update this topic with the results.
Thanks

A bit out of time, but just wanted to let everyone know that with the second diseqc everything worked.
Thanks for all the replies.
Cheers.
