DL D500 settings problems

[newsman]

i have the same problem but my dl-hd has the red module
so the question is why in the setup is asking to go to manual scan and set to (TURBO 8PSK) what is the purpose of that step?
and how the TURBO 8PSK affect the sat signals?
is the 8PSK MODULE is for sats with hd channels only? or it should work with sd channels too?

what is really happening when you go to manual scan and set to (TURBO 8PSK) is your are changing that one TP info (only that one TP)
in my case i found the problem when i was scanning 110 ( and i have 10 year old lnb that came with my dish500) because i changed TP#1, (12224) TO TURBO 8PSK, so that one tp has 97% Q but red, and that is why i could not get any channels on that one tp but the rest of TPs worked fine because they were still setup as DVP QPSK
the question is, does that's mean 8PSK MODULE is bad and is not working or that is normal because i have only sd channels?
any help please before i go and lose it on the dealer

thanks




My thanks to all who helped me. I did a factory reset and start all over again and all came good, I had to change TURBO 8PSK to other available choices and signal bar turned blue. But why it did not work on TURBO, my stb is DL V4 HD with green module? Thanks and God bless you

Newsman, I started your own thread.

Why? Because asking for help in someone else's thread is called "Hy-jacking" and others do not usually answer or respond to those questions as it is rude to the originator.

Now someone with your brand and type of LNB will be along to help you with your questions and help solve you problems.

Thanks and enjoy the site.

Not sure what your problem is exactly but I didn't turn on the turbo. Just looked now.

I just set up the sats and did an AUTO scan. It brought in every channel, SD and HD.
I use file 1.16 and have the red module.

If your dish settings and the dish is aligned right you should have no problems.

this was my problem


Default Dreamlink HD how to...For Set Up.

C/P Bman.
First make sure you have formatted your usb stick in your computer.

When you put the files on the usb stick and place it in the Dreamlink HD a Usb Explorer window will pop up and show you the files on the stick.

Place the factory file on your usb stick..

Then place the latest bin file on it..

First place the factory file on the Dreamlink HD, Then do a factory reset of the box. Again the Usb Exporer window will come up. Then select the latest bin file and place on the box.

Then go in Menu to Installation scroll down to Option and select Renumbering by SID to ON and make sure Auto CH/TP Update is selected to ON.

Then while still in Installation select Dish Settings and set up your sats.

Then go to manual scan and make sure Transmission is set to Turbo 8PSK

Press exit and now to go Auto Scan and scan yor sats.

When done exit and save.

Next go to Configuration...Set your Time and your A/V Output Settings and also UI Settings.

Then to Network Settings and hit the Blue butoon on remote to set up your servers. A box will appear select password 0000.

You have 10 private server you can put in. Dont have them all activated just have a max of 3 activated at a time. Myself i have 2 activated most times. One for Bev and one for DN.

If you activate more you will get pixels showing up. Why you ask? Is because all the servers will enter the box and the box will get confused which one to take and that will give you pixelation on HD Ch.

To place your servers in take time and make sure all your ps settings are right.Here how to do...

Name or ip..after done push exit

Ports...when done push arrow down on remote directional pad

Id ...after your done press exit

Password...after done press exit

Des Key..after done press exit

Connect....press ok and see if it connects, if it says not connected hit it again and see if it does. If not you havnt put in the ps setting right.

Press exit ...you will be back to server setup...make sure you see your ps is on not off.

Press exit again you will be back to Network Settings leave it sit three you will see a box pop up and it will tell you which servers are connected.Will say Network is Connected (4)(3) if you have 2 activated. Exit out if connected.

Next you can go to Channel List and do your Parental Control if need to.

Next is Utilities thats where you can see System Information on your box. Mp3 Player is there...Image Viewer Data transfer if you want to save Ch list or put a file on and also the PVR Menu

Which i think you all know what to do in those places.

The unit records very well I have recorded movies no problem on it using USB 8 gig Kingston stick...and burned those movies using ConvertXto DVD..

Thats it folks you should be connected and now get to enjoy this great small great looking box.





for any newbie trying to setup the box it will cause problem like missing channels, and that's what happen with me.
and I'm trying to put this info out there for someone else so it does not cause any problem

just an update that i got my dreamlink hd up and running, but I'm not too happy with the picture quality, does any one knows an HD channel that open on 110 or 118 or 119 so i can test my dreamlink picture quality with an hd channel

Thanks,
