Hi, I'm starting this thread because I've only recently discovered that my trusty TM6900HD Super (Using Patch 742P) is displaying a totally new problem for me when I first power up from its usual 'standby' position, e.g. first switch on of new day!
Say I last viewed BBC1 HD on 28E before switching off to standby last night, I now find that despite having 85-92% signal (all green healthy display) when last on, I now have a zero signal (small red indication) - and if I power off/on again from remote it still comes back the same!
I try to move to another satellite which the display states thet it is as usual!
So I am now on RTL4 19E 'allegedly', yet still with zero signal, so I select 1W on 'Satellites' and pop out to see if dish is moving (I use USALS with my motirised system) - but it does NOT physically move even though the display on front of TM panel states it is - so I think oh dear!
I then switch off at BACK, after first retuning satellites back to original position at 28E (BBC1 HD), give it a minute or two 'off', switch back on again - and lo & behold the signal is back to the full green level and it is now again operating normally!
I can also move round satellites, the positioner working normally again now and alls fine, until it switch off to standby and leave receiver for a few hours, when the whole of above starts again with no signal!
Maybe Digidude could reply to this with his experiences of Techonate repairs etc - or anyone please - so suppose I'm actually asking whether this could be hardware or even software (patch 742P) problems?oc:
