I believe they beamed down a software command to reprogram the box, but your box would have missed that update. I suggest you need to go into the options using the remote, and manually change the polarisation from vertical to Horizontal. | | geek_bogues1 | March 6, 2008, 12:26 pm | #6 | | Also check the LNB frequency setting Older LNBs (the pointy thingy on the dish) have a frequency 11300. Newer ones are 10750. | | geek_spotx101 | March 13, 2008, 8:45 am | #7 | | Cheers bogues1 works great....muchly appreciated, cheers | | geek_rowan11 | March 13, 2008, 9:17 am | #8 | | Philbit that was a mission reading your post spelling goes a long way lol | | Leave your comment: | |
