    Default Nfusion HD No signal

    Ive spent like 3 hours researching with no luck and was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction.
    I have DPP Twin LNB on the dish... 2 lines coming.... each to a separator, then to a Bev PVR.

    I unhooked one bev receiver, and removed the separator, and plugged into the LNB-IN port of the NFusionHD.
    I have to set to DPLNBF, diseqc 1.0, port 2 for 82 and port 1 for 91. Legacy switch disabled.

    Can’t get any signal it seems... 18-25% on the left bar, depending on which transponder... and thats it... 0% on the right bar. (Signal works fine if i swap to bell receiver).

    Any idea what could be wrong? It’s been many many years, but this NFHD unit was working when i unplugged it.
    I’m assuming theres something with the LNB or other bev receiver plugged into it? Or should this be working regardless of having a second Bev receiver plugged in on separate cable to the LNB?

    Update: also tried with the 2nd bev receiver turned on, and also completely disconnected
    .. still no luck at all getting a signal.

    Off the top of my head, Signals have changed.
    Have a look over at lyngsat to set you transponders to the correct polarity, frequency, & they are now mpeg 4

    The Nfusion HD still works.

    @quake_masta , i DON'T even think it's possible to zer0 in anything with the NFHD , it's a liar and it DOESN'T work for picking up good true signals , it will LIE one second say have NO signal , and 5 seconds later the signal bar fills up max and you have great signal , maybe try ANOTHER set top box or signal finder or something , i always used the coolsat 4k or was it the 5k i dunno ...... anyways that box worked great at finding ALL true SIGNALS from satellite(s) .

    Good luck ;D

    The Nfusion now needs a HD module to work, open up the box and see if it has one installed. Also the DDP lnb is a bit of a power-hog, it might need a Bev receiver hooked up and turned on to power the LNB. The left signal bar only indicates the receivers connection to the LNB, it should read high even when the LNB is pointed to the ground. If it's only at 18-25% then there is something up with the connection to the LNB, either wrong setting for the LNB or maybe a lack of power issue........

    i've got the same problem. had a working setup for a couple of years, last week a little freezing only on some channels, some others had the incorrect sound, today signal was 25%, i hooked up a bev reciever, it had 100% signal, hooked up the nfusion, and same thing 25%.i did a factory reset, reinstalled the factory bin, the nfusion bin, transpoders, and channel list, and nothing. any advise would be appreciated. thanks

    The easiest way to trouble shoot an issue like this is to take the receiver and a small tv up to the dish and connect it with a short (good) cable bypassing any switches and see if you get a signal. Also try adjusting the dish as it might have moved a bit. If still not then swap out the LNB and try again, if still no signal then it's something inside the receiver. You can then open it up and look for any swollen capacitors.

    The HD module might have died..........

    1000mA vs the usual 500mA so power shouldn't be much of an issue unless there is an internal problem. Using a loop out cable? And if so have you checked it to see if it has issues?

    Look at the cable and make sure there's no stress cracks in it and it seated tightly on both ends. Some just slide on so could be a poor connection between the lnb out and the module. If you had another short piece of cable could just swap out to see if you get a signal then.

    If you want to see if the stb will work on 91 without the module as a test turn the stb off with the back switch. Unhook the loop out cable from the lnb out and the module. Also probably be best to open the case and inspect and unhook the ribbon cables. A chance the ribbon cables are loose or have gone bad. Then you could power back on and see if it works on that sat without the module. Also inspect the module for discoloration which could mean it has a problem. If after all that you still are not getting anything then the module needs to be installed or it could have gone bad. One could always check the module with a multimeter as well. Just for fun I disconnected the loop out cable and lost signal on both 20000 and 21500 but I never unhooked the ribbon cables on the inside to see if it made a difference.

    If memory serves the SV8000 will work with 20000 without it's module but not completely sure with the NFHD. A bit rusty on some of this.

    thanks for all the advice. i took the cover off and everything was in great shape. no bulges or discoloration. tried the reciever with the loop cable off, no signal for either bird, checked all the wires and connections in the box, and all is good. i didn't try it without the ribbons connected, or get a multi meter on it, haven't had time. replacement parts are non existant if it is the hd module, and same goes for new boxes. thanks again

    Easy B,

    When you re-installed the bin what bin did you use? If 24 or 25 then it the wrong bin for North 27 is the correct bin.
