i have a dreamcatcher 3.05 and the lna that came with the package. i have had it working in the past. but i moved and it got packed away. today i set it up, and i couldnt get anything on it. i powered it up. seemed to load ok. was able to log in via wifi. looked on the statur page and there was nothing…blank. i did change to the narrower bandwidth settings. got out the gps and made sure the lna was pointed and the inclination was good. all checked. still no signal. went to the diag page and this is what i got…Skylark v5.8 / dc (765ca8b)

With the bandwidth reduction in march, the signal ist more difficult to pick up than before. Especially when using the older maverick type LNB’s. So we’d need a bit more of info. Did you use the tuner script? What LNB are you running? did you double check the beam settings and save them?

Hi Michael, is your frequency set at 12089.42 and beam type 36? Some changes have been made, but it still works. Better if you are using an Othernet Bullseye LNB.
