    Default New member Hope Im in right place altech dsd4121 STB

    Hi All, I have an Altech DSD4121 STB
    recently developed odd issue, where it will not lock sat signal, issue started 3 months ago, this fault occurring between 2pm-4 pm daily
    now its longer 1pm-6pm (summertime) the sat dish is fixed location as am I
    I have tried reset a hundred times, manual tuning checked cables, re seated card, turned off at powerpoint etc etc
    it automatically comes back to life, lock, scans etc all Ok after 6 pm-ish

    Welcome to Austech, boyd.

    I see you have posted in the VAST section, which is the correct place for your thread.

    I sometimes wonder if UEC/Altech and their VAST DSD 4121 should get a big 'Thank You' from Austech as this STB has provided countless hours of frustration, aggravation and Irritation to all who use them so rest assured, you have come to the right place !!!
    It is a shame though you had to find this great site because of THAT STB !!!
    I stand unequivicably behind everything I say , I just dont ever remember saying it !!

    Check the LNBF I would say its dying or not skewed correctly (or the dish has moved ) Especially if its affected by heat

    The readings the OP gave when it's working are OK... could be a tad better, but generally reliable.

    From the info so far, it is sounding like the LNB is failing.... heat causing it to fail during the hottest times of the day.... working again as it cools down.
