[FireDTV-S2] DOU LNB Astra1 en Astra3

r.opstals · 2008-11-07, 11:03

Hi forum visitors,

Recently I've got my FireDTV-S2 card and a DUO LNB for Astra1 and Astra3 and I try get it to work in Mediaportal. Astra1 works, however, Astra3 won't work.

I use the following configuration in TV-Server:
DiSEqC Band Satellite
sat#1 none or level1AB ku-linear 19,2E Astra1

Astra 3 won't work. I know that it has something to do with DiSEqC.
Does someone have this working?

I have tried the following configuration:
DiSEqC Band Satellite
sat#1 level1AA ku-linear 23,5E Astra 3 no chanels found
level1AB no chanels found
level1BA no chanels found
level1BB some chanels found

Who can help me, please?

update: The chanels i found DiSEqC level1BB are from astra1

So, i don't get any chanels of Astra3.

LNB set offset in LNB holder: 11 degress
Astra1 very good reception.
looking from behind the dish, the Astra1 LNB is at the left and in de holder
the Astra3 LNB at the right and 11 degress higher.

Everything looks good. but no Astra3

That's what I have, and is working.

Found it!!

I did what more testing and i got a strange chanel TV7 Lombardia.
Looking on KingOfSat - Jaarboek & Zapping Europese sateliet learnd me that this chanel is on HOTBIRD!!
So my left LNB was recieving Hotbird and the right one Astra1!
Tomorrow i go and turn the dish to Astra1 and test again.

More later.
