Hello everyone,

I've been pulling my hair out and am at the point of getting chap out to check my dish / swap out my LNB as I just can't find any settings that work,

I'm in a rental just north of Auckland and the last tenant had sky working, I have a sharp dual LNB and it has the following printed on its label:

Ku-LNBF
BS1D1AQ412A
L.O 10.75GHz

11.7-12.75/12.25-12.75HGz
950-2000 / 1500-2000MHz

It seems to have 4 outputs and the left 2 are connected (looking face on into the dish) - Nothing else inline before my receiver. It also seems to be correctly angled at 8'o clock which I think is correct anyway.

I'm trying to get some FTA channels for my SageTV PVR setup and I went and bought a USB DVB-S2 tuner but have not been able to get that working but I suspect that's a driver issue as I'm running a server OS rather then win7 on my PVR. Anyway there were too many variables so I went and bought a cheap "MAXplus+" HTS2700S on Trademe and have been trying to pickup any channels just to see if my disk is ok. So far after reading what feels like the whole internet I've not found any settings that work on a scan.

I have the following options on Satellite Setup:
LNB Power: On/Off
LNB Type: Single/Universal/OCS
LNB Freq:
22KHz - Auto/On/Off
DiSEqC Switch.

Would anyone be able to confirm some basic settings to get me going? I do have a spare single LNB with 8 connections in a box that I could try with if needed its from a Sky setup over in the UK and was working fine.

 

Thanks for your time,

 

Mark
