Not sure if this is the cause of your problem, but your new 5-LNB dish should use a Zinwell WB68 multiswitch. What model Spaun do you have?
New 5 lnb installed, now I think I'm having 6.3a probs
Hi all,
I've been following much of the posts about trouble since the 6.3a install and really haven't had any problems with lock ups or reboots. I've had the update for about a month. I did notice some audio dropouts while watching an OTA channel, but honestly that channel (local Fox) has always been a pain for me to receive OTA.
I've also noticed in the last couple of days that I get video drop outs that last maybe a second. I'm talking completely black screen.
Today I had my dish relocated due to the growth of some nearby trees and I figured that while I was paying for this I might as well have the newer dish installed. Then I'll just have to swap out the multi-switch when I get the mpeg4 box. This guy was very good. I'm getting nothing less than 90 on all three sats. I was still not getting HD-NET picture so I figured I would reboot and let the channels update, etc. Since that reboot the guide does not show any HD channels even though I have excellent signal strength. I've tried rebooting 3 times, still not seeing the HD channels in the guide.
Also, probably very importantly, the update from the sat would kick out at about 85% and ask if I wanted to try again. At this point I've gone in and told it to clear and reset everything. Not really much recorded that I'll miss and I can always re-enter the season passes. I had to get on to work so I don't know how this is going to play-out. I've had D* for 5 years and never have I seen it kick out of the sat update like that.
