[QUOTE="RobAtBentley, post: 1098410, member: 143057"] About 1 year ago, I tried the TBS6981 with 2 sat cables but still only one of the channels (channel B at the time) ever worked, even with swapping the cables A-B and B-A. Channel B was the only one that worked. As per my post above, it now seems to have swapped back to channel A being the only one that's working. Yes, all power connectors "connected" but no way of knowing if the power is actually getting through. Double checked and they're a snug fit on the cards so connected as far as I can tell. The other symptom that I noticed when is that I'm scanning for TV channels for the Cinergy card, the Signal Level (green bar) never appears, but the Signal Quality does. See attached screen-shots when comparing scanning for the TBS vs Cinergy. At a guess, I assume that the lack of Cinergy "Signal Level" was a problem with the Cinergy drivers. I retested the cable signal level after installation of the new LNB and Cinergy card using a Konig Electronic "Satellite Finder" meter. Not very scientific but the signal was pretty good at each end (LNB and PC end) of the cables and compared favourably to the signal before making any changes. I'll recheck to see if anything has changed in the mean time and I'll post the results here. [/QUOTE]
