inline amplifier

[mindmastr]

hi guys.

i need help with my stb and sat. i'm having some weak signals.

can you tell me what's the best inline amplifier to boost my signal.

You shouldnt need a signal amp (unless you are running over 150' of cable between the LNB and receiver.
Weak signal is a sign of mis-alignment, connection or antenna settings.
Give us a bit more info of your setup....
Dish and LNB type, switch, receiver, antenna settings, what sat are you trying to pickup.

24" elliptical dish with 2 dual circular lnb, 1.0 disqc 4x switch, cw600s premium, sat 110 & 119 i think. i'm not sure with my antenna setting i just put them in auto. i'm on echostar 6,8 now.

Compare these settings against yours...

Satellite..............EchoStar 8,10 (110°W)
LNB Power .............ON
LNB Type...............OSC-DP (If you have DP LNB, otherwise set it to STANDARD)
LNB Freq...............11250
22KHz..................OFF
TP Freq................12224
DiESqC 1.0.............Port 2
Motor..................OFF
Legacy SW..............None

Check your signal for improvement, it the signal does not boost, you might need to tweak your dish to get a stronger signal.
Satellite..............Echostar 7 (119°W)
LNB power..............ON
LNB Type...............OSC-DP (If you have DP LNB, otherwise set it to STANDARD)
LNB Freq...............11250
22KHz..................OFF
TP Freq................12239
DiESqC 1.0.............Port 1
Motor..................OFF
Legacy SW..............None

try setting your diseqc. settings. all looks good

Check your cable connections too. Sometimes a short can drop your signal levels down. Your disecq switch may also be a problem. Remove the disecq, connect cables directly from LNB to receiver and see what the signal strength is. If you see an improvement, then you have a bad disecq switch.

hi guys,

it's going pretty good right now. i just switch my cable connections on the diseqc.and its going almost to a 100%.

thanks.

Loose connections can cause low signals for sure, glad you go that solved without having to start messing with the dish.
