[QUOTE="MARKFNZ, post: 491479, member: 54617"] OK, I just got mine working with all SBS channels. I'm using a single HVR3000, although going via a DiSEQ switch for my 2nd LNB. Dish is 70cm, and I'm in Grey Lynn, Auckland. The dish alignment is CRITICAL. Even if it's a few mm out, you'll get nothing. I've just spent 1/2 hour getting my dish aligned, and it's a real mission. As someone has stated before, it's not signal STRENGTH so much as signal QUALITY. The best way to fine tune this is in TV Server, manual control. Choose a sat channel, start timeshift, and you'll get signal strenth and quality level indicators. These are real time, so once you've locked onto a channel you can move the dish for best position. There's about a 2-3 sec lag between moving the dish and the levels updating though. If you have a notebook with WLAN, your best bet is to RDP to TV Server, and take the notebook with you to the dish so you can see the levels update. Strangely enough if I align my dish for 100% strength and quality for a Freeview channel, SBS won't lock and I just get "No signal". With my dish aligned for 0% strength and 100% quality for Freeview, then I get SBS.

It seems it's a really weak signal :( [/QUOTE]
