Problem H/V Frequencies
 

First I would like to state I looked for the right place to put this and this looked the right place.
If not than please let a mod/admin move it to the right place.

I got a DM500S with Inverto Silvertech Single Universal 0,2db LNB's
with a 4 meter sat cable which the print states: "CO 12A DIGITAL SAT (CLASS A) 16VAtC NFC90132 BIEFFE Italy 04/05 211"
The problem is that I cant receive both H and V frequencies at the same time.
Having a LNB in the normal positition (with and without a switch connected) I only get the V frequencies. To get H frequencies I have to turn the LNB 90 degrees.

The f-connectors are already a few times newly attached..
The cable is made as short as possible...
What is the problem?
-dreambox
-LNB's
-Cable

have you tried changing the LNB ?
can you get both high and low bands?

I got 4 the same LNB's all the same problem.
Who what is the high/low band?
Could you state a few channels on 19.2 which are high/low?

I tried meanwhile also "increased voltage" in the LNB setup.
LOF/H on 10600 (original setting), 10750 and 11250, but no changes whatsoever

low band channels
10832H 22000 5/6 Bibel TV
10979V 22000 5/6 TV Canaria Digital +

High Band
12574H 22000 5/6 BVN TV
12610V 22000 5/6 Poseidon promo

Do you have a multimeter ?
if yes you can test the output of the dreambox
You should be looking for between 13 and 14 volts and 16.5 to 19 volts depending on the channel selected .
Hope that helps

low band channels
10832H 22000 5/6 Bibel TV no, SNR 2.6db
10979V 22000 5/6 TV Canaria Digital + Cant find this channel, but on manual transponder search I got these SNR 17.1db Services 15

High Band
12574H 22000 5/6 BVN TV no, SNR 2.6db
12610V 22000 5/6 Poseidon promo Cant find this channel, but on manual transponder search I got these SNR 15.8db Services 13


Do you have a multimeter ? Not yet ;)

Not good news

without a multimeter i would say its your box.
do you have another box you could try ?

After long searching I found a multimeter.
But where and under what conditions do I need to messure.
Pc's I can assemble with my eyes closed, but a multimeter scares me :P

make a short lead with a F connector at one end and on the other bare the cable so that you have a 1cm stinger and 1 cm of braid.
Now insert this into the dreambox on the LNB INPUT switch to the above mentioned channels and test the voltage....report back your results.
