Hi
My brand new Spiderbox 900HD has arrived and have tried as best I can to follow new setup guides. I have not activated S+ as far as I know but hvae used the updates Boxer 26 and also the rytec file. Following the advice in the newbie thread have gone to network and done 1111 but there is no option there for S+ can anyone help please.
Regards

S+ has been renamed as Ethernet.
Do a update via the reciever to get latest software,

hi
thanks for the rely and yes I do have the ethernet option, may have already activated it by mistake. Will carry on trying to see if I can get anything I have a fixed dish with twin LNB pointing at 19.2 and 13 east. Are there any channels here that are open still with the gift just to check see if it is working.
Thanks again
Regards

If you have not already done it, you should set up your lnb's under DiSEqC Switch..

Hi Wolves
Yes I have set them up but can only seem to get the the first sat which is 13east. How do you switch between them when I use the sat button only the 13E is listed.

So you have set Hotbird(13E) as DiSEqC 1 and Astra(19.2E) as DiSEqC 2 ?
Do you then get signal on both Hotbird and Astra? If so you could try a channel search..

depends which channel list you used , assuming your list has 13e and 19e , use the sat button to select the one you require

Thanks Echolon
Now for my next really stupid question lol. My old technomate used to be able to go from one sat to the other without any other switch can the spiderbox do this or do I need to buy a seperate switch.
