    Default DM7000 and 4way Disecq ??

    Morning all,

    Well i'm not sure if it's me or i have a faulty Disecq switch.

    Firstly, my Disecq switch has marked on it Line1 Line2 Line3 Line4 which i take would also mean AA AB BA BB in that order?


    Now using Pli Jade, in Satellite Configuration i have a few options

    "4 satellites via DiSEqC A/B"
    or
    "non-standard user defined configuration"

    Seems i might have to be using the "non-standard" option?
    I first tried with 4 Sats via DiSEqC A/B" but it would not find anything after Line2 or AB.

    My set up is,

    D1 - Line1 AA 10.7 LNB
    I701 - Line2 AB UNI LNB
    Spare - Line3 BA
    C1 - Line4 BB 10.7 LNB

    Seems the "non-standard user defined: option is the way i must do it.
    Any confirmation.... sorry, Monday morning brain fade

    I have C1 and I701 working fine, but no D1?

    What I have found is the auto setting for the 4 DiSEqC is set with a universal LNB config. If your using 113000 LNB the only way is with the 'Non Standard'.

    I have a 4way setup working perfectly. Took a lot of mucking around though. I ended up using DiSEqC Version 1.1 and selected A/A, A/B etc. Didn't use the Version 1.0

    When you go into LNB config, you hit the 'BLUE' button and then select Version 1.1

    Thanks Guys... i will read that link and try it out.

    Yes i knew that the default "non-standard user defined" was for a UNI LNB, as it was the first dish LNB combo i ever owned


    Go easy Leroy, i love my DM7000 Have had it since the group buy at Sat-Industry. Also have a few DM7020's somewhere, but i can't seem to find them.

    from experience , the dm7000s is picky on the brand type of the switch i think... i had a few 4 ways and only 1 of them worked with the dm7000s model...i had ordered it from the uk... works fine... was not an config setup issue either... this was yrs ago with older images though...

    cheers

    Thanks xfiles (and gee i remember that username from SI years ago too)

    Seems i can make it work a few different ways, yet either way, i have trouble with Optus D1. I shall check the TP's loaded in sat.xml. As i only have a 65cm on D1 at present and as such only get the stronger TPs.

    Seems it is happy with the type/brand of DiSEqC switch as it will see ports AB and BB or Line2 and Line4 (I701 and C1)

    It sees these ports with eithier bog standard "user defined" or by adding the Version 1.1 as the boys mention above.
    But still no D1.

    Now.... when using the "4 sats via DiSEqC" option, i could scan D1. So it is there.... i just have to work it out

    Interestingly it sees Optus D1 when you do a Sat Find (you can go to the strong TPs and they do show up)
    Then when in Transponder Scan (you watch as it tries each TP and can see the sig jump up on the strong TPs)
    Yet at the end on the intitial Transponder Scan, it comes back with "All known transponders have been tried but no lock blah blah blah"

    Trying now Leroy.

    When you change from Ver 1.1 to 1.0 etc... must you go through and do it to ALL LNBs?
    I imagine you should... but it seems you can leave some on Ver 1.0 and other on Ver 1.1 or whatever you like.

    Anyway still no luck with D1 using Ver 1.0

    Seems i shall start reading again go through it all step by step

    Ok.... going to swap the DiSEqC inputs and place C1 (which i know works) on the D1 input and vice versa.

    Thus

    Line1 AA = C1
    Line2 AB = I701
    Line3 BA = Spare
    Line4BB = D1

    I would think you'd have to do it to all. I wouldn't think you cold use a combination.

    I just bought a new 8 way the other day so that's going to be interesting to see if it works with the dreamboxes.

    Thank you for the prompt help guys, have to duck out for work.
    Will try when i get back in......

    Seems odd though, as D1 worked with my original try using "4 Sat via DiSEqC"
    And this set worked fine a on my ITGATE for the last 3 months.

    Ok.... Home from work with a clear head (i think).

    I swap the LNB cables so now they are;

    Line1 A/A = C1
    Line2 A/B = I701
    Line3 B/A = B1

    Select "non-standard user defined"

    Optus C1 is LNB O
    Intelsat 701 is LNB 1
    Optus B1 is LNB2

    Have gone in and edited each LNB to suit, selected "increase power", then selected Version 1.1 for all.

    Restart Enigma

    Look in Satfind and i have bad signal and BERs on C1, D1 and I701.

    Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

    I must have something wrong here.... going to check LNB leads, start to do head in

    its a time killer...non standard config is ok

    try this :

    C1 in 1

    Lnb Lo/Hi and Thres : 10700
    Diseqc - None

    i701 IN 2

    Universal settings..
    Diseqc 1.1 - A/B

    b1 In 3
    Lnb Lo/Hi and Thres : 10700
    Diseqc - 1.1 - B/A


    Else i say try the two b1 and c1 without the universal and see how just these 2 go..

    Then try c1 with i701 alone...

    Trial and error i guess, but i remember reading something about universal lnbs on dreamboxes...not sure if it applies to this scenario..

    Hope it helps

    cheers

    Oceanboy, try direct connect c1 if ok then connect to diseqc use non standard user defined and v1.1 also there is a couple of options to repeat diseqc command or such like, play with settings till works. Then shutdown dream, give it a short while power back on should be OK. Repeat process for each extra sat. I have 4 way working on 7000 pli jade works most of the time but every now and then it takes a bit longer to start when changing to another sat, sometimes have to change back and forward.

    cheers

    Thanks xfiles.

    Uni LNBs are fine with Dreamboxes, have been using one for 6 years.
    I'm going to start from scratch... Drag out the old Strong box and check each RG6 with Blind scan to see if it's actually what i think it is.... Then move forward from there.

    To be honest, i am enjoying the challange. 2 sats are dead easy, i really didn't think adding just one extra would be such a bitch

    Great it seems now only my C1 dish is working
    I hope i haven't killed the LNB's on I701 and D1.......

    Just tried all one at a time in Strong box.
    So far only the C1 dish came up......

    Back to trying 2 Sats on the DM7000

    Ok......

    Just added 2 Sats (D1 and C1)

    Used "non-standard user defined" left the DiSEqC version as default
    And it worked no worries.

    D1 on LNB0 or Line1 or A/A
    C1 on LNB1 or Line2 or A/B

    Scanned up first go, works perfect........
    Right, i'll try and add I701 using the same method and see what happens.

    Seems xfiles you might be right... as soon as i added the 3rd Sat (I701) with the uni LNB in the Sat Config, the Dreamy had a fit.
    It just doesn't want to know about it.

    The other 2 (C1 and D1) are working fine.... But I701 is just a bunch of BERs

    Christ i finally got it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
