I just bought a K-Box pro.
How do I go about scanning all the channels.
I have 110 on one LNB, and 118.8 and 119 on the circular LNB.
Do I perform the scan under Dish Setting and do I need to scan individual satellites or do I use auto scan for each individual satellite.
There is also blind scan. Do I need to use this? |

Sada,
Do I need to scan 119 at all or when doing 118.8 blind scan it will pick up 119. |

bestboy forget this false rico looser,
no each dish need's individual scan
just use normal scan for 119
use blindscan for 118.8 |

Which switch is better SW21 or or Diseq for K-Box?
Does one switch give better signal strength compared to other. |

diseqc is better,
what kind of signals are u getting
65-70% are ok,
u will get all channels on 118.8
it also depends on ur dish
atleast 33 inch is recommend |

menu, dish settin, 118.8
lnb type single,lng freq 11250, lnb 22 khz off
diseqc ..should be the one u are using..change it to 1, 2,3,4 and see the sat name of top should say 118.8
( i mean both should match)..
diseqc 1.1 off
leg switch off
for 119 the only thing difference is u just need to change lnb type to universal..
for other dishes just used the normal method |

Sada,
On 118.8, my signal strength is as follows:
Strength 90
Quality 47
I noticed last night that I was not able to get NDTV during the cloudy and rain, as the picture was craking up.
Is the quality of 47% too low and therefore would I need to realign the dish? Please let me know. |

bestbuy i mean boy lol
quality is too low, u need to tweak ur dish from outside,
easy way to do is to turn on beep for sound under option, then go out and tweak it u will hear difference in sound so u can easily tell if u have good signal without looking at tv.. |
