LNB 2 with DISEQC for Astra 1
Hi all,
This is my first post after lerking about here for several months waiting to get hold of a Foxsat HDR. Now I have it, I have a problem setting it up dispite searching through the forums. I have a DiSEqc switch attached to lnb2 with feeds coming from Astra 1 and 2. Following the instructions from http://foxsat.wikispaces.com/Setting+up+DiSEqC I have added all the channels, however my problem is that I don’t think that the DISEqc is switching as when I record BBC1, I am not able to view ITV1. I have looked at http://foxsat.wikispaces.com/diseqc-setup, however it is not obvious to me what I am doing wrong? Rgds, DBLux |

Have you got connected to lnb1 just an astra 2 setting?
There does appear to be a menu option to accept different satellite inputs on different LNB sockets.... I'm not 100% sure whether that would allow you to have one with disecq on astras 1 & 2 and the other with just astra 2, and what the result would be, however... I'm using one feed + loopthrough for astra 1 & 2 using disecq and it seems to work fine... Regards Chris |

I found some time ago that the diseqc input had to be put onto LNB1. I had tried it on LNB2 and the box would not operate the switch.
Prior to that I had tried to get Humax support to clarify which settings for diseqc worked through which LNB 1 and 2 inputs but they never replied. |

thanks, however I am still not sorted....
I have connected the switch to LNB 1, and now it is being detected, (DISEqC B). In Antenna Setings- Satelite Settings, I have selected Tuner 1 Freesat 28.2E, Astra 1 19.2E Tuner 2 Freesat 28.2E Then in Satellite Settings Tuner Tuner 1 Satellite Astra 1 19.2E Diseqc input Diseqc B Then in Manuel tune, I select Tuner 1 and Astra 1, yet the search just finds BBC etc on Astra 2. I must be missing something else? Last edited by dblux : 23-03-2009 at 16:41. Reason: posted before finishing... |
