@Tysonpower Thank you so much for this tipp! I changed the frequency and now I finally have a signal. Seems I made the same mistake.

at least on the snr map
good job
hahaha itâs such a stupid mistake, but you just donât realise it xD Happy it helped!
Hi Tyson - - I think when the signal testing is complete and Othernet puts up real traffic youâll all be surprised at how useful it is. Take a look at my on-line terminal to see what it offers - - Iâve port forwarded it. It lives at http://71.206.20.63/ Ken
Thanks Ken, had Othernet before while it was on L-Band and i found it very nice
I just dug out the very first LNB I bought as a template for the design of my tracking device and it works much better than the Maverick and my new Octagon. Seems I have a stable lock with it now.
SNRs of -7.25 dB sound low, but really are not a problem. The threshold of lock is around -13 dB of SNR.
Parabolic dishes and cones improve the SNR, but still values around -10 dB work fine. With a -7.25 dB, youâll be well locked! Ken
Note: Higher SNRâs (above -6) wonât increase bitrate. We are broadcasting at 16kbps.
Is all boards are tested QC before shipping ???
I changed LNB ⌠no need to change cable as my cable works with another LNB and PC / DVB / STB.
Is the led 5 blinking indicates that LNB signal is received or just an âelectric powerâ Indicator ?
How can i know if a signal from the lnb is received on board easily ?
LED 5 and 6 should flash rapidly if it receives. You can see if a signal is received either on the Touchscreen (if you have a version with one) or in a webbrowser under Tuner status.
I also tried 3 different LNBs with very different results. With the one that came with the Dreamcatcfher I had no signal at all. A new one I specially bought was very bad and the best results and a 100 % lock I had with the cheapest one I could find. It is a SatConn High Performence SHQ-101 Single LNB, which is available on ebay for 5,55 âŹ. And at the beginning I set the frequeny wrong. When I couldnât get a signal I also startet wondering if my Dreamcatcher was faulty, but it really took me some time and a tip from Tysonpower to figure out how to set it up properly.
Fixed !!!
So slowly i went back on roof for the dish , and i took a direct line to one stb tuner on 23.5 to be sure.
Then i swapped with the DC , and no signal , seems there is bad contact with the LF->LNA adapterâŚ
I make a cable by my own LF - > LNA and now i have signal âŚ
SNR : 1.25 db
RSSI : -77 db
Here is my setup & signal debug info.
I use LNB universal ( not the MK1 shipped with the Dreamcatcher ).
Not anymore
Nice! So it was a cable/connector failure. Well that happens
@Martin i would recommend to use a PLL LNB, anythig else is just bad. Are they all PLL?
Othernet Test Signals seems to be gone now so the test is Complete? @Syed ?
Decoded over 3 Million packtes with the LNB indoors
@Tysonpower The new Octagon LNB I bought is a PLL. But I donât know if the SatConn I use now is one. I just had it lying around still and it was my last try to get a lock. Still it is working very good compared to the other ones.
So any schedule planned ? Or we just need to wait now early setpember ?
