Deimos Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 I always use the one on the Sky box. I’ve never had any problems with it and know that its reading the Sky satellite signal strength/quality. Using the Sky box signal strength meter was exceptionally quick to align the dish and I got much better signal strength and quality than I ever got in the UK (where the professionals used meters).Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anton Redman Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 You have probably found either another satellite cluster or unlikely given the recent weather the sun. If it is another cluster it may be that the digibox default values do not allow to search the frequencies which are in use.Alternatively you may not have tightened the LNB to dish or LNB to digibox well enough. Having aligned the dish did you try fine tuning with the Sat Pointer removed. Assuming Due South in 12 oclock arm of the dish should be between 9 and 10 oclock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChezShells Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 HiYou may be close to oyur desired satellite, tilt it backwards, signal should go off then come back on as you tilt it with the right codes.But you probably have done it now.Good luck.
