DM500 not locking onto a signal in Australia
I am staying in Aus at present on holiday, I have DM7000 in UK and done quite a few installs for mates etc.
Decided to help someone out with a DM500 install over here whilst visiting.
The system comprises of a unflashed DM500 out of the box, I have restrained myself from putting any other images on it at present.
The house had an existing fixed dish on it which using a compass looks like its pointing to Optus B1 160. I have been assured it all worked with the previous foxtel decoder.
It has an AE29 Single LNB which has a noise figure of 0.9db??
Oval dish I reckon about 0.9 to a metre at its widest point.
When I connect the DM500 and do a transponder scan on that satellite or any others around it I get no locks.
I asked in a local store and he strated explaining setting up the LNB to 11.3 in the decoder, but in the simple install menu there is no config for setting up the LNB. I noticed in user config setup there was but I have never had to do any of this in Europe.
Does this dish and LNB work with the DM500.
Is there a signal that I can get a lock on down here level with Melbourne.
Any advice would be aprreciated they only want some free to air channels to add to the 5 they currently get.
Thanks
