Hi
I have just upgraded to an HD TV, and replaced my DM7000 with a DM 500HD. I have the same steerable dish and LNB.
I am having trouble setting up the satellite positions, and keeping them, with the new layout of menus. I am using the Advanced tuner settings, and I have found how to select Diseqc 1.2 without USALS. I can locate the satellites at 28.2E, 19.2E, 13.0E using Search East/Search West, and scan for the channels on them.
But I have problems with maintaining the settings. This morning I re-scanned for 'free services only' on 1.92E, and all the satellite positions have been lost. When I zap to a station, or use 'goto stored position' the dish moves, but not to the correct place.
The three satellites above can have default channel information loaded by a wizard on start-up. But I am not sure what I need to do to get the channels on 5.0W (French FTA is what I want). I have tried stepping with a manual transponder set up (France 2 details from Lyngsat), but I only see about 1 or 2 db SNR, not the 10 -15 I see from 28.2E, 19.2E. Do I need to load the transponder details for this satellite using DreamBoxEdit or some such ?
Are there any useful sites which can help me get though this change, which is proving harder than I expected.
Thanks
John
