SKYBOX F3 - Satellite Setup - Help!

[RubyT]

As the dish is not motorised you don't need to input longitude and latitude. Set Motor Type to OFF.

Thanks

Having looked at an image of the F3 rear panel, top connector seems to be LNB and underneath LOOP. Therefore if the black cable is connected correctly to the quad, it should be in the top position.

What is the white cable connected to? Also what is the text under each connector?

It’s the loop

OMG I’m such an idiot… just switched the cables around and the channels are back. Thank you all for your help …

Pleased we could help you get it sorted. However, out of curiosity, where does the white cable go? If not to another receiver, I'd remove it to avoid confusion in the future...

Agree taking it out…. Don’t need this headache again. Will keep a note of the settings as The Astra 2 doesn’t seem to be the default. Thanks a million again.
