today my echo 3600 is not the same as yesterday, i cant get any signal from fta to decoded or radio, treble checked the connection and all seem ok. The signal bars seem strange though, the top one i can get to about 80% which is normal but the bottam bar seems less than 10%. Had this setup for many years, i hoping the lnb or cable has gone, and will check asap, any other ideas???

Bottom one means it's not seeing any channels.

When I had an echo (3000) I used to reset the E and W limits and then see what I could pick up at, say 42E.

my dish has only ever gone from astra 19.2e to hispasat 30w because of the motor limitations, had a look on the ladder all connections are good, will have a play again, thanks

have you tried reflashing it

I had a simmilar problem but I could never get it to go away the only way I got round it was to reload the firmware and then never switch the box off as soon as I switched the box off I would get the signal strength issue

in the end I just switched to a technomate to drive my motor shame really they are very good tuners

sorted, did a factory reset and put in east and west limits and all seems fine apart from no volume from the RF connection, anyone any ideas
