    Default DM 500s PLi Jade promblem

    Well i got my 2nd hand box today,

    first problem was the power pac failed after 20mins ?

    so i tried my dick smith M-9627 multi ,which seams to be working for now.

    unfortunitly the dream box manual isnt suited for the jade software thats installed !

    so far ive managed to changed the lnb settings for D1 , C1 , and when i check the signal it all looks good ?

    but when i scan nothing comes up?

    can anyone help me ....where am i going wrong?....cheers

    Hey Dirtracer,

    Your question says it all.... you are very new to Dreamboxes.
    Nothing wrong with that, but you are going to have to educate yourself on the simple issues first.

    At the end of the day, it is like any other receiver.

    You need to tell it all the information before you scan.
    And the User manual has nothing to do with Jade or any other image.

    Make sure you have your LNB settings correct
    Make sure you have loaded all TP's in the sat file for the sat you wish to scan
    Scan that sat and all should be well.

    Good Luck

    Thats the way mate... simple is always best.
    Little steps at a time, that way you can find your mistakes a lot easier.

    I must admit, i have a 4way Diseqc switch and only 3 ports on it work, so sometimes that can be your problem. And it can have you pulling your hair out looking for it.

    Yep, its not easy.

    Search here, i also had trouble and some members helped me.
    Basically, this is what i did and HAVE to do everytime i add a Diseqc to a Dreambox

    Satellite Config = non-standard user defined
    Then add each Sat, one at a time...
    By that i mean, add one cable at a time to the switch, then configure and scan it one at a time.

    Doing it this way worked for me.... When i plugged all cable in at once, it just wouldn't work.

    I don't select any of the Disecq options from the Sat Config page.... just non standard user defined.

    Thanx . i was starting to dout the dream box was good, as i plugged up topfield with the dqsec switch and everything was fine? so ive hooked it up to another dish setup (sky with a dual quad) and it seams to work alright with the lnb settings at 10750 for both D1, and C1, so im happy at that !

    will try what youve said next : as i want to use my 3m p/f with a universal 9750-10600 on C1, and a 1m offset with a 11300 on D1....for starters

    I hope to load up all my dishes eventuely ! but small steps first ...thanx for all your help
