Now I do get all signals, all freq's (after a bit of mucking around)
My questions:
1. In the Dreambox config menu, the 22k is selected in the column with 'On-OFF-Hi/Lo.
Now this I thought would make it difficult using universal LNB's? Unable to select Hi/Lo. I left the standard 09750/10600/11700 config and it appears to scan. I have the settings set to 'OFF' and in the 'blue button' Ver 1.0 A/B. My Cband for the same Combo setup is set to 'OFF' and A/A. Makes sense to me. Problem is, it wont switch between signals (DiSEqC) .
I have a Strong 4658x hooked to this feed via a satellite splitter. I must use the Strong to select the Band (C or KU) and then the Dreambox will lock in.
So on the other side of the 22k switch I have 3 x 11300 going through the 4way DiSEqC. They are all switched to 'ON' and Ver 1.0 A/A, A/B & B/A. They work. (No switching between C or KU).
So I'm a little puzzled why the Dreambox wont actually switch my combo between CBand and KU. No Doubt I have something wrong.
I initially thought the 'TONEBURST' was for the 22k. It has the A & B selections. But selecting that alone and then A/A, A/B etc did nothing.
So my 2nd question.
2. What is the Toneburst selection in a DM500 for?
Google hasn't helped. Just more confused. I'm thinking this needs to be incorporated into my config somehow. Tried, but no differences.
Any help would be appeciated.
