Hi all.
I have a sat B50(sonny), and i am not getting all the channels.
On most of them i get searching for signal nag.
Oval dish is fine, as i have 2 RCA's running on the same dish.
When i check the power output to the dish, it stays at 13 volts, and
does not go to 18 volts.
Plus when i go to check signal strength, i get 0 to 100% on un even
transponders(up and down like a yoyo) and nothing on even transponder.
I also have an older B3(sonny) that get's all channels, on an old P3(sound only)
so i know the signal is there, and when i check this one i get the yoyo 0 to 100%
on all transponders and the voltage goes from 13 to 18 volts, like it is suppose
to do.
What should i look for to fix B50 that does'nt go to 18 volts???
Ok! The problem with the 18 volt thingny is solved.
Now, since the sub is in florida, and the IRD is for now in MTL,
it got me thinking that may be the missing channels are
comming down true a spotbeam transponder,and the card is
looking for those tiers!!!
Any input???
