Ferguson Ariva 202e

[Archer1]

Hello! I purchased Ferguson Ariva 202e 4 days ago, as it has good review from What Satellite magazine.
I'm watching channels from 2 satellites Hot Bird and Sirius. I have a switch - Port 1 for Hot Bird and Port 2 for Sirius. It was a problem connecting receiver to 2 LNB's , I lost 2 hours to connect it.
As it wont to receive channels from Sirius . Hot Bird is OK. When I'm switching receiver to Sirius channels the screen is black and message is NO SIGNAL. Sometimes I should wait 3-5min when channels become
available. Technomate works without problems with this 2 satellites. I need a help with this issue. Thank you.

Incompatibe DISEqC switch i would say. What brand is it?

If its only a 2 sat switch i always use Global Invacom ones, never had a problem. I've had that issue with cheaper switches in the past.

Hi! I don't know exactly with switch I have , as I bought it 5-6 years ago. But haven't problem with Technomate.
Signal on Sirius channels drops from 84% to 46% than comes back again to 84%. ?

Some DISEqC switches work fine with one receiver and not with another, its just the way it is.

Get a decent one, like a Global Invacom or a Fracarro one, don't bother with the Golden Interstar ones, they are crap.

Told you so

Don't know what it is, some boxes work fine with one brand of DISEqC switch and other won't. I've always used Global Invacom ones and have never had an issue.
