Optibox Anaconda Question Thread

[Bellboy]

The main reason I didn't post it, EB was that the tp it hung up on was well above the highest tp listed with Lyngsat. It just seem very strange that it found such a high tp. I wil try to find it again. If memory serves correctly it was tp 4161 on 105. I'll move the bud over and run a blind scan right now.

It locked up on the same TP & sat for me as well

Now that didn't take long. It is the first tp that comes up. It is 4161V 29998. I scans it but when the receiver tries to scan the tp it locks up on it. I've also, always had problems bringing in 105. Both 103 and 107 are fine but 105 is very weak.

Try changing the parameters so that your scan does not go above 4000. Nothing above that, that isn't encrypted. I had the same problem on another sat with tp 4161 and stopping below it solved the issue.

itried it on a scan from 3900 to 4000 it still locked up.

That's too bad EC, the s2/8psk NBC channels are on that sat.

I did it yesterday but I'll try it again and report back.

Try going with 3700 to 3960. It was above 3960 that I had problems

I managed to find that tp but it is very hard for me to get a solid lock on it. For some reason I have always found 105 hard to hold.

 

[rodder]

i can scan in NBC just cannot get this 3920.

 

[easily confused]

Can't get it here either. Not a hint of action it.

Ok I brought my receiver upstairs and hooked it up to my c band feed. All channels scanned in both manually and on a blind scan for that tp. I remember the first time I attempted 105w my box got stuck on tp 4160 as well, not quite sure why that issue hasn't arisen on my 2 last scans:

I just re blind scanned to reassure myself. The anaconda got stuck on tp 4160 for about 20 seconds then it scanned all tp, 50 channels showing up:

Just tried again and hung up on the same tp. Finally cancelled the blind scan again after over 10 minutes on the same tp.

Did you try to scan it in manually?

Is everybody using the same firmware? it seems Costa is having better luck for some reason.

I'm using the same firmware as Costa

 

[easily confused]

Same firmware here, as Costa and I tried scanning 4161V 29998 manually and locked up again. gave up after 5 minutes. Also tried 4160 but no signal on that tp here

Actually EC I meant a manual scan of tp 3920.

 

[easily confused]

I don't get any signal on 3920 at all

It's mpeg-4, could be a dish size issue.

 

[easily confused]

Possible as I am only using a 7 1/2' and I have found similar problems before
