Hi all,
My Dreambox is set up for 4 LNB's configuration via Diseqc. with the Satellite names selected from the scroll down lists but I think the LNB settings for one of the Satellites are incorrect. Does anyone know how to adjust these settings?

You mean 3 are switching to the correct sat but the 4th is not?

Effectively that's what is happening but I don't think the frequency Hi and Lo are set correctly as firstly I am not getting the channels I should and secondly when I do a scan it only picks up ku band channels and not C band channels that I'm looking for.

What satellite are you looking at? Whats your location?

Can you give an example of a) what channel is working and its frequency and b) what non-channel you are scanning and its frequency.

That way, other members can help a bit better...

I am in the Middle east and picking up channels on Nilesat(7w), Badr(26e), Hotbird(13e) but not the C-Band channels on Intelsat(68.5e). When I go into the user defined sat configuration I notice that the Intelsat settings are set for ku band frequencies. I know that the Lo frequency for c band is 5150 but do not know the Hi and the threshold settings so when I try to save it it tells me that the settings are not correct and cannot be saved.

Sorry, I can't get Intelsat so I can't test it..my dish only goes to 42e..

Maybe someone else can help you

Just taking a guess here, but aren't C band frequencies for analogue receivers so can't be picked up by digital receivers?

No this is not true. I have a Mutant which is receiving all four satellites unfortunately it does not show me the figures I need either.
