Can't get a strong signal on Humax

ad100 · #1 (**permalink**) 01-20-2003

I recently replaced my F**tel box with a Humax 5410z but I can't seem to get any more than %28 signal. It was working fine with the F**tel box. I am using this LNB "LNBF Standard KU-Band".

Any ideas what I am doing wrong here?

Is that 28% Signal strenght or quality ?

28% signal strength..... I think

Low signal strenght is usualy a sign of poor quality cable,bad conections can also cause this
If you are running splitters or diseq that will also decrease it
Dont be too concerned if you have good signal quality

I take it you've set the correct LNB type?

Can I ask if the 28 is on aurora ?
Cuz that is actually quite acceptable for STRENGTH (as opposed to quality) on that pole ...
U should get better than 70% on the other pole to get a good pikcha tho ..

Just set up your Humax box with the following detail and do the search:

LNB Frequency 11300

(Pay TV)
Frequency 12688
Polarisation Horizontal
Symbol Rate 29473
FEC 3/4

(AURORA)
Frequency 12405
Polarisation Vertical
Symbol Rate 30000
FEC 2/3

Align the Dish correctly.

Thank you for all the help people but the problem was solved soon after I posted (nearly 2 weeks ago)

Maybe a reply 2 weeks ago saying you fixed it and what the problem was would help others too
