yes, and I’ve written that there is no voltage now at the receiver; I measured it with a multimeter
and the multimeter works fine
Did You read this?: Aligning dish using signal finder
That’s what I’ve kept asking for days; seems pretty obvious to me but everybody just seem keen to see me going on the roof with a tvDoes that mean there will probably be a problem with STB, or don't you think so?
Rule out the fault try a different reciever
Try a battery pack to see if it powers up your
Meter
When you are say 28east and select a Horizontal channel then box will out 18v but thats just a jolt ie it switches polarity of lnb and same for vertical ie will push out 13v to change to vertical. It wont push out 13v or 18v continously for obvious reasons. Did you check the meter as I said above? Let me be the first to tell you that meter is rubbish. All that meter does is make a high pitched whine when it gets a signal, it does not tell you the satellite or the frequency etc. A proper sat meter will do everything do search for this one and it will explain difference.

Take your box up to dish with monitor/receiver and it will work. You should realise that even if that signal finder works when you try 28east that wont help you with 19east there are too many satellites.
Have you anyone to watch the TV while you move dish?
It’s this oneDid you try it on 28e as I suggested? You have me intrigued now and its a signal finder not a meter. Did it come with a manual and if I had ordered one I would have tried it on an existing and working sat.
No, it doesn’tthat sat finder takes a battery
If you connect the satfinder direct to the zegemma box powerd off with the patch lead. Then add your sat feed ( lnb ), do all this at the back of your tv. Then power on the box. Once fully booted it may now light up and buzz. Then start a scan on 19 east. The sat finder will continue to buzz if it's working as the receiver seeks the channels. It wont find any, this will prove sat finder is working . Do same again with sat feed in box finder now to lnb reboot once the dish is roughly aligned,you need to start scan and leg it to the roof befor scan finishes rapid like. The quicker you get there the more time you will have to set it with the sat finder. Failing that use 2 mobile phones on facetime/whatsapp point one at the telly and view the other one at dish end.
Hope this helps you out
I think Rod Hull had the same problem you are experiencing.
Hope you have a better outcome. ......Paul
We dont even know if he has moved dish, adjusted elevation, configured tuner, etc I think this is a time waster building posts. In another thread he was scanning 13east on a dish aligned to 28east. Not a clue in my book.
