Problems with 118.7 with wideband LNB

I am using a GT SAT Single Circular LNB GT-SCIR40 on a 1 metre dish. The link for the LNB is http://www.arizatechnology.com/shop/ind ... ucts_id=33. I am using the 2410.INI file from joshyfun which contains TPs for both F3 and Estar7. LNB is currently set to circular and LO=10750. No matter what I do I can not pick up anything on Anik F3. DVBDream scans the correct transponders on F3 (starting at 11715) but always says no signal until I hit 12200. The same setup works in Mytheatre but not with DVBD. Any help here is greatly appreciated.

can you attach/send your CHL file here? ("chlist.chl")

so that I will be able to see your diseqc configuration,


or you can send screenshots from "disecq settings" window and "Satellite" window (it shows up when you clicked on "Add Satellite" button, LOF settings)

CHL would be better.

Here are the files

There is no diseq. I am using a motorized dish using USALS. Your help is greatly appreciated.

weird, I can't find anything on DD that can cause problem with Ku-Circular LNBs (LOF=10750)

Can you test with reverse polarizations
and try to test by using manual-scan window.

Huh?
"DVBDream scans the correct transponders on F3 (starting at 11715)"
and
"always says no signal until I hit 12200"
are mutually exclusive statements.
What did you mean by that? :shock:

Anik F3's transponder frequencies are between 11714 and 12154 MHz.
It does NOT have anything above 12200.


btw, joshyfun's 2410.INI file has a lot of errors (mostly with FEC; and it does not have modulation info).
Why don't you use 2414.INI file which came with DVB Dream?
You may even combine 2410.INI & 2414.INI (Echostar 7 & Anik F3, respectively) into single file, if you wish (just follow the file format notations, and DVB Dream standards).

If you are using wrong INI file you will have zero success.
And don't overwrite INI files if you don't know what are you doing.

It's like: "I replaced *.dll file (which I found elsewhere), and now program does not work. Must be something wrong with the program!" :?
