Spiderbox channel problems

Very helpful Jimi mate.

Well I thought the dish installation was off at the start of the thread, the installer was feeding him a lot of c**p about the internet being the problem when it's not even used for FTA channels so it clearly was either a receiver fault (extremely unlikely) or the dish off position (almost without doubt) and now norn has confirmed this.
Two things I hate to see is a member with a problem being mislead by someone that knows (or should know) better, and the "its never the boxes prob its down to u m8 ..." type of post which goes nowhere towards helping solve it.
I've asked stormy norm to ring me today and I'll take him through setting up the USALS, if the dish/motor are correctly installed his problems will be over.
 
In fairness I think what speedy was trying to say is that is wasn't the box at fault but simple human error,
which it turned out to be :)

Thanks for that WIZ569 and manic01, it could well be down to my misunderstanding of his post, it can be read two ways you see. If this is the case then speedy1234 has my sincere apologies.
Basically the Spiderbox range are good receivers but when I first started helping members on this forum did I get slagged off!!! (me/the spiderbox/dm/another forum) all were targets for abuse.
I guess that has left me a little "sensitive" on ambiguous posts.

Yes m8 you were unfairly ribbed about the Spiderbox, which in fairness was down to circumstances outside of your control,
but hopefully all that crap regarding receivers is past us all and your expertise on this subject in particular is very much appreciated :)
 
Jimi has been nothing but helpful. Can one of you test TV2 PL1/2/3 for me. Watched the game on Wednesday after retuning. Now it's not working again. Prior to Wednesday they wouldn't come on at all despite no changes to the box and being viewable for weeks before. Something not quite right with this if they are still clearing for you.. I have 85% signal and 86% quality and other channels are clearing on that bird.
 
TV2 pl 1/2/3 not clearing for me at all. I've deleted the transponder and retuned. I've deleted every channel on Thor and retuned. It won't clear..

I had no problems with this at the beginning of January. I then went to a game for a change. When I tried it lastTuesday it wasn't clearing. A retune eventually got it cleared. Now back to scrambled channel. Everything else is opening.

Working for me using cccam on tp 10747 H sr 25000. (Thor 0.8w)
 
Just checked and your right not working with Ethernet, by the way when you get a line it will bring home just what a fantastic receiver you have.

I have had one before but it was unreliable. It is an excellent box.

Sorry for the misreading, I know many members have a dislike for him but in honesty having met him quite a few times I've yet to meet a man who is so enthusiastic on the subject of satellite TV. I dont want the thread to degenerate into a state of chaos so thats all I can say on the subject. I know you'll understand what I mean.

It's great to know it was an alignment problem (didn't doubt it for one second) and the OP tells me the dish/motor have been moved further along the wall and he now gets brilliant reception.
