Hopefully I chose the right forum location! If not please move...
So I came back from holiday to find my Humax box complaining of weak or no sat signal.
I bought one of those cheap satalite finders things to see what the problem is.
I just connected it all up and I think there is nothing wrong? I connected one end direct underneath the LNB block (to one output), the other to the Humax and then switched on. I get a red light on 0hz and 13V and if I adjust the sensitivity it buzzes. If I just reflect the dish slightly the signal drops away. I need roughly equal deflection in any direction to make the signal drop so I believe the dish is still aligned.
I have other LEDs though for 22khz and 18v...these do not light up. However am I correct in thinking these are actually controlled by the reviewer box? I.e. it sends a higher voltage or higher frequency to read different polarization?
If I have a signal and apparently have a good electrical connection between reciever and dish why am I getting bupkis?
