I have the frequencies. its just they cannot tune them in for some reason. says signal level is too weak, yet they are tuneable in a sky box.

So you receive this Pick Tv and Showcase with your Sky Box?

The tuners in the sky box are perhaps better tuners.

Put on another station eg BBC1 and see if the signal quality and strength match on each box i.e. your Ariva and your Sky Box.

And are both boxes getting there signal from the same LNB?

Did you add a channel list or search on astra 28.2?

Hootanany · 14-05-2013 01:12PM

I cant get out of the menu, I did delete all the channels first.

You need to do a channel search or re load via USB from a channel list.

Hi.

Is there any chance that you could upload it again or if Hootanany could upload a copy of your channel list.

When i go to the the link it says there is no file.

thanks.

Hootanany · 01-06-2013 03:10PM

Sorry I just got it of that link I dont know how I can upload from my stick to you.
If you tell me how I will do it for you no bother HTH.

Tony · 01-06-2013 04:00PM

Mediafire.com is pretty handy for this you just drag the file onto the uploader then copy the link the provide back here.

Hope this helps

Thanks for the help. At 4mb is it too big to add the file as an attachment to a post on here?

If you can get it up on mediafire let me know.

I have to head to croker now so it will probably be Monday before I get back near the box. I've got most of the channels in order but it takes time. Thanks again.

I've got an ariva 120 and none of the channels are showing on it, satellite or terrestrial. I know the connections are good because the other box I have works perfect when hooked up there. It seems to crash when I adjust the dvbt power on/off

The hdmi output failed on my 120. Check and see if you can display the signal via a scart cable.

I'm using scart at the moment. I can see everything on the screen (menus etc) but it says no signal on the channel and it shows no reception on the bars in the satellite menu

Tony · 03-07-2013 04:41PM

If memory serves there was a glitch in the software sometime ago where DVBT power was actually LNB power, I wonder if this is part of your issue?

Why are you turning the DVB-T power on & off? (Presume this is the 5v for an aerial amplifier.)

I've tried it with one on and the other off, both on and both off, but it makes no difference

Just for testing.

You are using a Single LNB ?

Have you some mad sort of diseqc mode switched on ?

Have you selected 28.2 in your satellite list and LNB1 in setup ?

That is your issue. Choosing the 5v phantom power in the DVB-T menu wouldnt cause these issues anyhow.

There is a quad lnb on the dish but the cable is connected directly to it and it runs straight into the receiver, no disceqc switches

I was talking about the box. In the setup do you have LNB1 picked for 28.2 with the heart symbol ? You dont have diseqc mode switched on do you ?

I have the Disceqc settings switched to off and 28.2 selected as well. The terrestrial channels aren't working either, it's not just the satellite. Might be something terminal

Sounds like more of a software issue,
