missing transponders dvbdream

[hiller65]

Have you tried replacing your old lnb with another to see if the helped you pick up the other transponders? How far away is your rig from your satellite dish? Legacy Lnb's have known problems with the voltage drop over long distances( 100' about the longest distance you should have). Your power supply size on your computer could be a factor if it is too small.

I hooked up an dp lnb on 91 and think I have all the channels for it. So I think I will see if I can round up 2 more dp lnbs and swap them out. I have aproxiamtely 40 ft of cable from the computer to the dish.

Thanks for the help.

I think I have found my problem. The twinham card is not putting out enough power for the lnb. I can put my stb on a vertical lnb on the sattelite I scan and can then get signals on all of the transponders I should be seeing. One question for you. Do you think an power inserter would help my issue? or do you think just changing the Lnb to a dp would be better.


Thanks for all of your help.

I am using dish pro lnb's for 110 & 119 without a power inserter, and have not experienced a problem. I am glad to see you have figured out your problem and will get to enjoy your DVB pci card. DvbDream is still a work in progress, so I would periodically check their website for updates. Cheers.
