Hey guys!
Thanks for your input.
I am presently viewing the channels from 61.5. My problem seems to be with the transponder. I did a factory reset & started by scanning the 61.5, after checking which transponder was giving me 100% quality. I got nothing. I started over & on the 3rd try, got the channels. I didn't get 615(RTPI) & 650, but got the Brazilian. I tried the same for the nimiq (4 tries), but it didn't pick up any channels, except the echostar ones, which are the 110/119 channels with a 2 in front. Then I scanned my 110 & 119, got their channels.
Now when I change away from the 61.5 channels, I get the 110/119 channels (a few with no signal). To go back to the 61.5 channels, I have to go into menu & switch to a transponder that gives me 100% quality (every time) et voila, I have a signal & can view.
I hope this helps the ones that have the same problem, even though temporary.
Could it be my diseqc? I have a $5 one. I was told that there are $50 ones that make a difference. I would appreciate an honest answer (no dealers).
What can I do to keep the quality at 100%, after changing channels?
Will a frequency booster help? I would like to get my nimiq going as well.
Many thanks in advance and Happy New Year.
