Austar KU Dish, Dreambox500s No lock/Sync on C1 please help

[splatto]

The more I read, the more unclear it becomes.
I have a standard austar dish pointed at I presume Optus C1. (am still recieving Austar from it)
I have installed a dreambox 500s and managed to ftp the Optus C1 xml file.
Followed the instructions on several sites, but I do not get sync or lock, hence when I do a manual scan can not find any services.
Can anyone please help
Thanks

Have you configured your LNB settings to match the LNB on your dish ?

10700,11300

I just tried,
with the threshhold at 11300?
Still no go

Dreambox tuners are more temperamental and the dish has to be more fine tuned then other receivers so that could be your problem, you might have to fine tune your dish

[RSA]

two common LNB setting are


LOF/L: 10700
LOF/H: 10700
Threshold: 11700

or

LOF/L: 11300
LOF/H: 11300
Threshold: 11700

Single frequency LNB usually.

Either 10700 or 11300.
Try both of them. Easy if you look on the LNB of your dish, it will have the L.O.Freq written.

Have you tried scanning 12407V 30000 2/3 to see if you can scan the tuning pattern for Optus C1?

[SatGuRu]

Do Austar use dual frequency LNB's?

[splatto]

Ok, I have a satellite finder, and can do, but would like to exhaust my other avenues before moving the dish
Thanks

If you have a Universal LNB, try:

LOF/L: 9750
LOF/H: 10600

[splatto]

I think I should go onto my roof and check the LNB.
Will be back soon

Some of the label was damaged here is what I found:
LO 10.7
Frequency 11.7-12.75
Twin Digital LNBF

This should work with your LNB

LOF/L: 10700
LOF/H: 10700
Threshold: 11700

[splatto]

Here are the current settings and still no lock or sync

LNB L:10700, H:12750 Threshold:12750

Frequency 12407, INV unchecked, FEC 3/4 horizontal, Symbol Rate 30000,
SNH 69%
AGC 83%

[splatto]

This should work with your LNB

LOF/L: 10700
LOF/H: 10700
Threshold: 11700

Thanks, I'll try that now

LOF/L: 10700

After two days of no success
