tbnz: I just got a Dreambox 500 and am trying to set it up for NZ, i've managed to get the Optus D1 and transponder list ok and when I scan I see all the signal strengths, but none of them lock.
cyril7: You can use both at the same time, and yes you can either use a seperate splitter, or just loop through the Dreambox. But be aware that you cannot watch Vpol transmissions is other is watching Hpol. All the FreeView and Sky muxs are now all on Hpol so not a problem unless you want to watch some the SCTV feed or NITV or Imparja.

BarTender:
I am planning to build a NZ Custom Gemini build with all of the hard work done for you, especially only including the satellites that can be see in the NZ sky, not the majority of ones for NA / Europe that can't be seen here.
I found a great site that exported everything out of Lyngsat on a semi-frequent basis into a satellite.xml, just can't find the site right now... when I find it I will post it.
Also going to start a blog on this.
tbnz: Ok, so i'm still having some issues, it dosn't seem to matter what i put in for the settings, and which transponder is selected the SNR is around 58.
tbnz: Just out of interest i moved back to the sky box and the Signal Level is around 68 and the Quality is around 80, is this very low? seems low to me, could this be my problem?
When we brought this house we had to call a sky tech out because the decoder wouldn't work on the existing dish.
