SOURCE: Suddenly the Tuner mode reports "No Signal"

Just a solution.

I attached a video recorder., and selected the video channel.
I was able then to see the channels through another AV slot extension.
Then I reset the TV to factory settings.
Samsung full HD reset code is 0000.
I used the original remote control.
I pressed the button TV/DTV to switch between mode., and from the menu I started
the option to scan the channels automatically.
Because the VCR was still connected it looks like it was forced to admit the channels.
I turned off the VCR and click on the TV the remote control for a known channel ( alternative control used) and surprise ... The TV started to react according to expected.
I disconnected then physically the cabling from the VCR and plugged in directly on back on the
wall connector. All is ok.
What was the reason ?
My wife dropped the alternative remote control ( not the original one) on the floor, and apparently an strange code was sent to the TV., which suddenly displayed " No signal".
I hope this can work for you.

Kind regards
Sanchez

SOURCE: how do i fit a dual LNB so i can change channels

HELLO
A word of warning! Do not attempt to split any feed coming from a single output LNB to another satellite box - you will be asking for trouble!
Now for the solution. If you are using a standard sky minidish you will need a 40mm adaptor kit, a dual output LNB and another length of satellite cable (Webro WF100 prefereably) but I suppose RG-6 will do the job providing it is not too long (around 10-15 meters or so) a couple of F connectors and self-amalgamating rubber tape.
Power off everything! Remove the old LNB and to do this you'll notice a plastic rivet on the LNB arm of the dish which must be removed. When you have done that and the new LNB is place (don't tighten everything yet), connect your current length of cable to one output and the new length to the other (finger tight should be fine) and make sure BOTH of your boxes are connected. Remember to waterproof those LNB connections.
Power on! You should be getting pictures - if not the LNB will need skewing round a bit. Look at the dish from the front and turn the LNB in a clockwise position say the 2 o'clock position - that should do the trick. Then tighten everything.
I wish you well with it - good luck! (:-)

SOURCE: Humax 8000T not used for a while, now says

sig strength 29 is too low to lock onto. Humax needs 50+ to lock ideally 65+

is the aerial ok? try the set on someone elses aerial. If no joy then its possible the tuner is duff...but thats virtually unheard of.

SOURCE: added a 322 reciever to

Is TV 2 off the 322 receiver being back fed from the receiver or do you have a direct connection to the 3rd room? If it is a direct connection, you would screw the coax from the 3rd bedroom directly to the TV 2 Home Distribution channel 21-69 out port.

If you are back feeding, you need 2 diplexers that connect 1) by the receiver and 2) between the receiver and the 3rd TV. The back feeding will use the same cable coming from the dish to the receiver.

If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

Activate my openview decoder please.STB Id is 31 9023 5609 31

Connect the cable from the dish to the LNB-IN port and switch the OVHD decoder ON. The decoder will pick up the OVHD signal automatically. The decoder must be activated using the cellphone by entering *120*6843*1# and then follow the menu.

Can I watch different channels on a single dish using one set top box and let me tell how many tvs I can connect to one dish

Only one. If you want use another tv you need one more connection. That means one more set top box and LNB with multiple out. If the provided do not have the Multiple OUT LNB then you need one more dish antenna.
If you wish to get some details; check the site linked here. Pull up older posts.

I have a foxstat -HDR humax box and I am getting no or bad signal on the TV downstairs. I can get some channels but not all.

I suspect that the box upstairs is a Freesat box; a Freeview box requires a feed from an aerial, not a dish.

The problem you are seeing may be caused by water in the cables, if they are not sealed at the LNB. The LNB may be failing, but dish misalignment is more likely.

As there is an unused output on the LNB, try swapping one of the feeds with a poor signal to it.

Set Up for DVR

Hello: If you have only one incoming cable, just hook it up on SAT 1. What happens is that you will only be able to record what you're watching. If you want two incoming cables, just change the LNB to a dual LNB if you have a round dish. If you have an oval dish, most likely has a multiswitch LNB, so all you need to do is hook up another cable to that LNB and run it to the receiver and put it on SAT 2.
This way, you can watch one program and record another program on a dif. channel at the same time. Either way, you need to take out the LNB from the dish for one or the other option. It's best to contact your service provider and get a tech, to do the changes. It's not costly.
