can only see sat 110

[zoogor]

ok, i got this receiver today and for every diseqc port it only shows sat 110. even on empty ports. i tried 3 new switches with the same result. same coax was used up till today on a different receiver and worked fine. this has got me baffled.

[velocity9421]

what type of lnbs are you using?

[zoogor]

seriously??? circular same ones being used on my other 2 set ups. i even tried it on the other 2 set ups in the house and i dont even get 110 or anything on those. i really think its the receiver. i hooked one up here for a friend not long ago. set up aint the problem

[velocity9421]

well with your attitude i can tell you don't need my help

sounds like you got it all figured out. Seriously!!!

sorry bud, im just not new to this. i have set up a thousand receivers. sorry for that. im just real frustrated right now.

[StanW]

That was a very good question - it is not a good idea to mix different lnbs ( some receivers like it less than others). Since we don't read minds , and you haven't described your setup , we have to ask the same old dumb questions ( regardless of how many Ks of receivers you've setup . lol) in order to eliminate possible causes .

Seriously ;)

hey now, i said i was sorry.
i packaged it up and its going back to worldwide.

[StanW]

Why is it going back ??

Are you going to add this one to your count ? :D

[zoogor]

its going back because it does not see the satellites. not much good that way. no, i will not add this one to my count.

[velocity9421]

no worries bro. i get frustrated too.

i have a jynxbox and it didn't like my dp pro plus lnbs, so i switched to dtv single lnbs and a 4 x 1 diseqc switch and that solved my problems.

i think jynxbox has quality control issues. once you get your jynxbox back from worlwide, hopefully it will run properly

Hmmmmm, I think you sent a working receiver back, I have never seen a bad jynxbox that would bet one sat, 9 out of 10 times
that problem is caused by a bad switch, just because that switch will work on other receivers don't make it good, all that tells
me is that the other receivers have more power than the jynxbox.
another cause could be that you didn't do a true hard boot, and no the power switch is not a hard boot on the jynxbox.JMO.

i tried 3 brand new emp switches on this. im not new to this. i really think its just a bad receiver. i have hooked a jynx up here on the same set up for a friend with no problem. i was impressed with it. that why i bought it instead of the dreamlink. i still have it. it wont go back till monday. i think im gonna get another dreamlink in its place. i dont like the guide on dl but oh well

[velocity9421]

why not try to connect the jynxbox to your lnbs without the switch to see if that's the problem.

you could connect to 119 lnb and verify if you have signal, then go on to next lnb (129 or 110 or XX) and see if it has signal.

this will tell you if jynxbox does work with your lnbs, just not your switch

So why did you bother starting thois thread ? - reading thru it it strikes me like you know best and are not really interested in advice from fellow members.

[zoogor]

i wanted advice that would work, i was looking for something i might have missed. switches and lnb's and stuff like that is not for me. if you like , feel free to delete the whole thread. i might sound arrogant but i dont often ask for help because i read and study before posting. i dont need help with switches and lnb's, they are fine. working great on my dreamlink and nanosats.
you have been a great help to me in the past stan but on this you just seem to be egging me on in stan style. i am getting a laugh out of it but come on, you know i aint green. stop pushing dogg

about the dreamlink, is the overall quality good, my jynxbox has been dead for 4 days now and I will never buy another one, on a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being the best, the soldering on the main board of the jynxbox is about 1 if that, I need a new toy so what do
you think of the dreamlink.

i love the dl. i hate the guide but the pic quality and stability is way beyond any other. i recommend it fully

[velocity9421]

i just returned a DLHD with sk200 for a jynxbox v3

i had the DLHD for a few days and it will pixelate alot and i would get the bad or no signal message many times a day. i had to reboot the DLHD from the back rocker switch several times a day. also the DLHD had maybe one hours worth of EPG on some channels and it would freeze several times an hour. to fix the freezing i finally turned off all servers except for one. so i guess it can't handle multiple servers ON at one time

my bro is running 4 servers(2 bev-2 dish) and 5 lnb's...no issues

[ranger]

I sent my Jynx back also and swapped plus money for another Mfg's Box , happy now ....... Lol ......

same here, no problems at all with dl on multiple services but we're getting off topic here

jynx is good. i set one up for a friend. its just this one i got wont see sats. im sending it back but im niot sure yet to try another or get another dl

[velocity9421]

there may be a quality control issues with both the dreamlink and the jynxbox

if you get another jynxbox i would ask for a V3

[zoogor]

it is a v3. i dont think there are quality issues cause i use 2 separate emp switched and im under the impression that emp are the best and i believe that cause i have been using the same 3 switches for 6 years till today when i tried 3 different switches on this receiver

[bkr™]

There is no difference between a V2 and V3...except the V3 is a V2 w/ wifi adapter included in box. Both normally have JB-200 as a tuner included, subject to supplier tho.

So the cause of your problem is evident - you didn't unplug the receiver when hooking up the receiver and blew 3 brand new switches :innocent:

[zoogor]

nope. the switches are fine on my other receivers. your getting weak stan. not getting me going at all now...come on bud. you can do better than that. you know im no rookie

[Nostradamus]

so where did you buy this box?

[dishuser]

so where did you buy this box?
he said from wws

[Nostradamus]

well quite possible he got a good box or a clone and he might also have got a good box and a cloned module as those are floating around as well

[Anubis]

well quite possible he got a good box or a clone and he might also have got a good box and a cloned module as those are floating around as well
Easiest way to tell is borrow one from someone that is known to be working. Cheapest as well.
Myself I would factory default the box and start with factory file.Then load latest file 239 and then factory default with original module. If it works great!
If it doesn't swap the module...try the working module.

[fonger]

Just return it for another.. Good luck zoo! :)

[joem1947]

I have the exact problem except the box is a FREESAT and i also tried everything.
1. Factory reset and started all over with the files
2. Converted to ILINK
3. Changed the module
4. Changed locations
I have a second FREESAT box and that one works just fine when hooked to the same locations.

[62bug]

Hey Zoo I had the same problem when I first got mine.
So I swapped out bin 239 for 237 and was able to get a lock on 91 110 and 119

...unless it's a clone !!!

[zoogor]

i emailed them, they think the tuner is bad. gonna try a new one

[tito2020]

You should post pics of the box if some guys here say its a clone.

[whositwhatnow]

i had this exact problem and it was one of my lnbs, one was not working and i was only getting 110.

[velocity9421]

i have a new version 3. when i got it a few days ago i loaded bin 2.33 to it. all was going well, then yesterday i loaded bin 2.39 and i immediately lost sat 119, i could only get 110 and 129. i tried everything to get a signal on 119, but i had no luck. i tried bin 2.37 and bin 2.36 with no luck. i went back to bin 2.33 and now i'm getting signal on 110/119/129 again.

in conclusion i will say again like i said earlier, there is a quality control issue. i'm also convinced that the legit jynxboxes (not clones) are not all being made in the same factory.

IMO the jynxbox works great when it's working properly. I would recommend to only buy a jynxbox from a source that is willing to test it before shipping out your jynxbox

[dishuser]

[Nostradamus]

yeah really! all that is required to establish authenticity is the label on the shipping carton showing the unit serial number and a pic of the back of the unit itself. Actually last night , I took a trip through fleabay and found a few clones being sold and there is quite a few using stock pictures so hell knows what they are selling


i'm also convinced that the legit jynxboxes (not clones) are not all being made in the same factory.
that I know is not correct but it very well could be that dealers ordering direct from China and bypassing the distributor could be getting factory seconds as well, or even receiving refurbished RMA boxes in their orders

[zoogor]

the receiver is authentic. the tuner is bad.

[Nostradamus]

the receiver is authentic. the tuner is bad.

well I wasn't specifically referring to you, but anybody in doubt. Also, I hope you have more than the dealers' say so with yours seeing as how the word I got was 3000 clones in N America and I know of one dealer who claimed he didn't know what he was selling was clones. Easy to be fooled if you do not have a legit one along side to compare it to

[velocity9421]

i'm not convinced the tuner is bad

what bin files have you tried loading to it?

well, i checked for all the tell tale signs of authintisity and all checks out plus, worldwide aint in the habit of ripping people off.

gotta be tuner. likem i say, i have three other receivers that all work on the same set up s. 239 file is what im using. plus my friends jynx works fine here.

[StanW]

Zoog blew the switches and won't admit it :innocent:

[Nostradamus]

well not many you could check other than ones involving the remote without something to compare it to and no you are right WWS never was in the habit of ripping people off

[dustdogger]

I can guarantee that zooger got an authentic box, and that it came with a JBDVBS2 module from WWS, because that is the only way they sell them. I called them before I bought mine and was told they don't sell the JB200. I went on ebay and got the JB200 so I was ready when the box arrived. I also got the JA-ATSC module from WWS and use that as my backup when servers go down.

[velocity9421]

in the jynxbox menu screen under > Tools > Systems Information it should say what it is

on mine it says: rf/slot1 JB200

I have a jb200. if they have another tuner shouldn't it be listed as what it is in the Systems Information screen?

Yes it should if the slot 2 module is properly installed.

[homer_™]

The satellite reception locking issues seemed to start when the dealers stopped selling the boxes with the module installed.

[TheCat1]

I would like to weight in on this topic, I too have a genuine Jynxbox Ultra HD V.3 and I have been having the same issue with the receiver no longer seeing 119 and 129 only 110. When I first received the receiver a couple weeks ago read up extensively on the proper set-up procedure before I hooked it up. When I first connected it I was seeing 110, 119 and 129 but once I updated the unit with the 239 bin it would only see 110 on every sat and port. After considerable reading and research on this FTA I believe the problem could be with the 239 bin and a conflict with the Jynxbox Ultra HD when connected to LNBs with other FTA units. I am running an SV8000HD without issues and replaced an iLink 9000+ with the Jynxbox Ultra HD, the iLink worked fine on 110 and 119 and saw 129, 82 and 91 but I wanted to upgrade to an HD unit and bought the Jynxbox Ultra HD which is a nice received especially for it's low cost but I think the issues with this receiver could possibly be resolved through a new bin which defaults 110 to port 1 like on the SV and other FTA units. I think this would solve the issue of it not seeing 110 on on port 1, 119 on port 2 and 129 on port 3 or 4 on a typical four port Diseq switch. When I reconnect the iLink or SV to the same RG6 cable I see all the sats but when I connect the Jynxbox I can only see and lock onto 110.
These are my findings and my opinion if anyone has experience with Jynxbox Ultra HD and this issue and solved this problem please post your solutions so we may benefit from your experience.

[Terryl]

Some junior software engineer must have FUBAR'ed the Diseqc switch commands.
