Hi all,
I am having an issue getting an universal LNBF to work properly with the AzBox MiniMe American Edition.
In the tuner setup menu, I set the settings for the satellite I am trying to tune - Galaxy 17 91.0 W Ku-band - to Universal LNB (9750/10600) frequency.
The issue I am having involves the 22 kHz setting. I have a satellite meter that turns the 22kHz tone on when I was out at the dish site tuning in a channel on the satellite, so the dish is pointed correctly. Inside with the AzBox, I have tried tuning in the channel (automatic satellite scan) both with the 22kHz tone setting enabled and disabled. I have not had any luck using the automatic satellite scan doing this.
The odd thing is that I can tune the channel if I do manual transponder scan and input the frequency/SR/polarity info there, I am able to pick up and scan in two channels that way on the AzBox. However, when I try to view the channels, the quality is 0 and they do not tune it. HOWEVER - I have discovered that by connecting the satellite meter to the AzBox's loop out and having the satellite meter send the 22 kHz tone to the LNBF, I am able to receive the channel on both the AzBox and the satellite meter.
Altogether, I think I have figured out that the AzBox does not (always) seem to output the 22 kHz tone. However, it will discover the channel during the manual scan. I just cannot view the channel unless I have another piece of equipment sending the 22k tone.
Does anyone have suggestions as to how I can fix this issue? I do have a standard 10750 LNBF which works fine with the AzBox. Unfortunately, I am only borrowing it and must return it soon. I would like to get my Universal LNBF working correctly but don't seem to be having any luck. Any suggestions would be appreciated! Thank you.
