hi i have adigitalb card but my signal strength is about 40% on dgi plus and i cannot even open the film channels as the signal is so low 4%. my freind has a db8000 and can get 65%-75% signal strength on the same channels. I know that this satellite went tits up a few months ago and all the channels were off for a bit, but does anybody else have an issue with signal strength on digatalb? I may have an lnb that has become blinded to certain frequencies or maybe its a tuner driver issue or maybe its not, i have also tried peaking the signal by moving the dish back and forward. i am going to take my vu to my mates house tomorrow to plug it into his setup to see if its my lnb.

regards

it is the same for me m8, digi plus diddnt even open, my signal was very low, and it has worked before, on the vti image, i wonder if this is a bug in the vix image, some other sats, some channels were showing weak, something isnt quite right m8, i think

What size dish do you have?! 16e requires a bigger dish... Never had any problems on my 85cm dish... All working fine. So my guess would be a setup problem...

Wasn't there a discussion on this a while ago, once the 5.2 drivers were released. It was something called frequency drift (from memory) and you needed to adjust the frequencies on some transponders a bit. It only effects some LNB's from what I recall.

Will test it again after the footy and let you know whether mine's ok (it was a little while ago I checked it, so can't remember whether before or after the latest drivers)...

Having no problems here with the setup in my sig.

So it's either the dish, lnb or something in your settings...

hi my dish is 90cm my mate sends me bouquets which he also uses on his dm8000 and he can clear 75% signal, i used to get that on my trusty old dm7020! on the same dish, its just wierd how since after the problem a few months ago with this sat stopped functioning properly that ive had this problem just coincidence maybe?
