hello all,
Just picked up a satellite dish and Humax HB-1000s from a local off gumtree.
I've scoped the area and now mounted the satellite dish on the back of the house in line with neighbours, I've purchased new cables with F connectors and a Sat Finder from screwfix....
I have factory reset the receiver, however when I start the initial setup it only says searching for Satellites... there is no mention of Tuner 1.... it continues to search until it eventually throws up no signal found errors.
I have purchased new cables from Wickes with pre fitted F connectors, they are properly connected to the receiver and the dish. I have also removed the sat finder from the circuit and still the same.
Am I right in thinking if the box doesn't recognise Tuner 1, then the most likely fault is the LNB?
I have changed all cables, tried with / without the sat finder and still brings up a whole lot of nothing.
The sat finder itself I am some what skeptical about as moving the satelittle doesn't make it louder or quieter when I have turned it up so it is sitting on half gauge.
The dish I believe is an old sky dish as it has a Quad Sky J4LS LNB currently on it which doesn't appear to be damaged, rusted etc.
If I skip past the initial setup the system works, I.e on demand... navigating to the system menu does show Tuner 1 with both Signal and Stength as No Signal.
Help I am so perplexed!
