Needing help setting up a dreamlink t4 sd

[cobra011]

I am having problems trying to set up my receiver I have installed the factory file Dreamlink_T4_0010_0218BP then did factory reset and rebooted installed file Dreamlink_T4_0109_0625P did factory rest and rebooted then scanned sats bev 91 and dn 110 then set audio and video setting. I then went to network settings and entered in info and can not get it to connect. I have done this 3 times with same result and have also noticed that when i scan sats is only loading approx half of the channels. I have checked to make sure subscription is good have hooked a computer to ethernet cable to make sure wasn't a problem there. Have had a different receiver hooked up and it had worked fine. Would appreciate any help

is this new out of the box?

[dishuser]

after entering info did you turn server port on?

[cobra011]

yes it is new out of box
yes i turned server port on

[KIDWCKED]

the only reason it wud'nt connect imho is info entered incorrect..or code used simultaneously..

[cobra011]

code is not being used anywhere else and have tried 2 more times entering code and can not get it to connect

[cobra011]

also wondering why it is only scanning some of the channels

[KIDWCKED]

well i might think of returning it..

[steven charles]

also wondering why it is only scanning some of the channelsfriend try posting the settings for each sat your pointing too,and what dish and lnbs and also the signal and quality for each sat,the problem might be there for not scanning all channels....

[cobra011]

the dish and lnbs should be fine have used them for 10 years never had any problems quality is in the mid 90s. I will check the settings and answer back with that

lnb settings are Dn power on type single freq 11.250 lnb 22 khz on diseqc sw 1.0 1
bev is same settings other than diseqc sw 1.0 is on 2

lnb settings are Dn power on type single freq 11.250 lnb 22 khz on diseqc sw 1.0 1
bev is same settings other than diseqc sw 1.0 is on 2

your settings say you are using a diseq and a 0/22 switch???? Whats your hardware set-up?

[cobra011]

i got it to connect but still only getting about half the channels when I scan both sats and for settings I am only using disc switch 22 switch is off

[torpainter]

lnb settings are Dn power on type single freq 11.250 lnb 22 khz on diseqc sw 1.0 1
bev is same settings other than diseqc sw 1.0 is on 2

this says 22 is on

[cobra011]

22 is off diseq is on am missing all the ppv some of the hbo starz and encore movie channels and various other ones on dn and on bev missing most of the network channels only have 2 movie channels and missing most of specialty channels like a&e food network comedy scifi etc

[torpainter]

please post more info
how many lnbs?
what sats you are pointed at?
one switch?
how wires run?
Also does the correct sat appear in settings at top right?

[cobra011]

1 lnb pointed at 110 and one lnb at 91. have one switch cables running from 110 lnb to 1 on switch and 91 lnb to 2 on switch correct sat appears in top right in settings

[torpainter]

do 110 and 91 appear at top right?

[cobra011]

yes they do

[cobra011]

could a bad switch cause this problem?

[torpainter]

you can look up the channels here and do a manual scan of the tps if the quality is there

You might want to bypass the switch (dont forget to turn off diseq) and run directly to each lnb to see if the switch is the issue
Good luck

[cobra011]

Will try that thanks

Could be lnb drifting (going bad) see if you are getting all H polarities and not V and vice versa. If you are missing all of one or the other then likely a bad lnb on your 110 and would account for only getting half your channels. To test you could swap your 91 lnb in place of your 110 unless you have a good replacement handy. Not saying it couldn't be the receiver as it sends the voltage of I think 13 and 18 volts accordingly.
