E2 on a new Atemio Nemsis

[Pixl]

My other thread on the Atemio Nemsis was getting rather long. Thought I'd start a new one here since the issues seem to be more of the E2 beast rather than the receiver it's loaded on.

I've done well at getting my tuner lnb1 set up for C band. I wanted to add a second dish which is Ku, port #4 on my diseqc 1.1 switch, so I set up LNB2, but can't get it to work. Here is a screen shot of the setup. I question my selections for LOF/L, LOF/H, and threshold what ever that is.

Is it in the same tuner as your C-band is? if it is, try another tuner.

Also, looking at your signature, you show the ku as being a universal vs. your menu setup is showing a standard linear lnb.

Why are you using LNB2 instead of LNB1?

Yes, same tuner, has 8 port switch downline to feed 3 different dishes with one coax.

East, this is not the main Ku dish listed in my signature, but is a fixed 1.2m dish for 103w weird skew. Uses a standard lnbf with 10750 LO.

Pixl, then the settings seem to be correct for that lnb. Again, back to the basics of running a straight cable until you get a scan then adding the switch and scanning again etc. Sometimes posting a hand drawn diagram, helps alleviate the guessing of how the system is connected.

On mine. I prefer to separate C and Ku on two tuners... makes life easier for me, especially for recording later on.

I just thought I should since it is physicaly different from the lnb for C band. I am trying another scan with it set to lnb1. It breaks the scan into 4 parts. Vert, horz, 10700 to 11700, and 11700 to 12750, even though I did not specify a two band universal. It locks one TP 11920 H 4599, but no channels found.
Again if you guys can look at these settings, what should be entered for LOF, LOF/L, LOF/H, threshold when using a single band standard Ku lnb?

Not too much to understand, my system has been simplified over time. Most all Ku is on a separate dish, no switches, to separate tuner. My C band is this setup shared by a couple stray Ku dishes.

Tuner> 8 port 1.1 switch> port 8> Cband lnb.
____________________>port 4> 103w Ku. lnb.
____________________> port 6> 15w Ku. lnb.

This setup was working with the Raptor I just pulled out of service.

Your LNB is only single band, so no threshold switching is necessary with a standard lnb. I have always used 10750 or 11700 just to remind me that it's a ku setting when I quickly zoom through my settings in the tuner section.

The threshold setting is the frequency at which the receiver tells the LNB to switch from Low Band to High Band.

"It breaks the scan into 4 parts. Vert, horz, 10700 to 11700, and 11700 to 12750, even though I did not specify a two band universal."
Some of the images I used did do that with a standard ku lnb when the scan start frequency isn't changed. Change the scan start frequency to 11700 and the end frequency to 12200 and it should give you a two part scan process instead of four.

In regards to the threshold, if you were using a universal, the settings would be:
Lo 9750, Hi 10700, Threshold 11700 and have the 22khz switching on.
