| 809643 | 2009-09-13 04:24:00 | Must be something to tune it into freeview. It maybe set up for freeview, doesnt mean its tuned in to receive it yet | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||

I would take the freeview unit to a friends house with sky and plug it in. Our Freeview got knocked out a couple of months ago by heavy rain. The piece of equipment at the end of the arm on the dish was damaged by rain. |

| 809646 | 2009-09-13 05:12:00 | Have you done a channel scan yet? yep, went into the menu for optus D1, pushed auto scan. it found nothing. but the channel list has names of all the channels i expected. if i select any channel, it just say "no signal". |

| 809647 | 2009-09-15 09:41:00 | with help from the guys at geekzone. I have found this to be the answer... 1. Menu / Installation / [PIN] 2. Highlight OPTUS D1 press right LNB type select standard 3. enter 11300 or 10750 for frequency 4 press exit. BTW default pin = 0000 |

| 809648 | 2009-09-15 09:59:00 | If you have no quality and strong signal it's one of two things. 1/ You have the wrong LNB setting (most likely) or 2/ It's looking at the wrong satellite. I have found that there are two main types of LNB's, ones that work on 11.3 Ghz frequency and ones that work on 10.75Ghz. You need to find the "LNB settings" and say if it's on 11300, try changing it to 10750 and save it or vice cersa. Then do an auto scan. |

| 809649 | 2009-09-15 11:48:00 | ....The piece of equipment at the end of the arm on the dish was damaged by rain..... yeah right ! did someone say "Tui" ? while they do die, true water damage is rare. common faults are due to fitting LNB upside down so water sits in the exposed screws/seals, not sealing plug/cable and plastic cap degrading (UV eats them) letting in water. i see a lot installed upside down with no sealing of the cable/plug. a nice little money earner for ripoff installers ;) |
