HVR-4400 DVBS "No Signal" message (1 Viewer)

[spuddy]

Hi guys,

Neewbie here. I've spent all day here in New Zealand trying to figure out why my install of MediaPortal 1 v1.12.0 cannot find a signal when I am in TV Server Configuration.

TV Server sees the DVB-S Tuner but when I go into Scanning for channels on the 160.0E Optus D1 satellite I keep coming up "No signal" regardless of which Advanced Tuner Option I select.

I am using an older SkyTV disc inslalled in 2008 and working fine using Win7 MC

I have been running MC in W7 for a few years and thought I'd give MP a try so that I could upgrade my HTPC to Win10.

I had looked all over the net for help, and have had no trouble configuring MC to work by doing Single Transponder Scans using 12707, 12483 and 12644 with an SR of 22500.

Uninstalled completely and then reinstalled with no luck. I hope one of you can help me out.

Kind regards
Mike

Hello and welcome Mike

I've spent all day...

A small piece of advice: don't be afraid to ask for help (!!!). We're really friendly and helpful, and our advice can save you hours if/when you get stuck.

My guess is that your LNB settings are incorrect. Assuming your dish has one of the standard Sky LNBs, you should select the following settings for scanning:

• DiSEqC = none
• band = (any)
• satellite = 160E Optus D1
• tick "enable DVB-S2 channels tuning/scanning"
• tick "use advanced tuning options"
• tick "override default LNB frequencies", and set low/high/switch to either 10750/10750/12750 or 11300/11300/12750
• scan type = predefined provider

About the LNB settings: if the LNB on the dish looks ovular (like -->this<--) then use 10750/10750/12750. Otherwise if the LNB is circular use 11300/11300/12750. If you're not sure what the LNB looks like try 10750/10750/12750 first, and if that doesn't work you can try 11300/11300/12750. One of them should work.

Please don't hesitate to ask if you have further questions.

mm
