Technisat SkyStar USB - No Signal

[sbt]

well for me both the signal and quality always remain at 0%, which driver version are you using ?

we have the same problem with the drivers that come as a original cd from technisat but when we use ver 4.4.1 from the technisat site this problem
has solved and now just we don`t have any signal quality.

i am back..... well sorry for being away....... the thing is that i got a new ss box as replacement for my old one... the shop guy told me that the piece was bad.... and i came home... plugged in the new one... and it worked like magic... till yesterday...i.e. when it started to act strange once again... but this time i am getting fluctuations in the signal quality alot...... and am not able to tune in any signal or anything...... i am confused.....

unfortunately i have bought the box from another country & now i am in
my own country . can you ask the shop seller of this device that what can cause this problem to be occurred and how can we solve it ?

sbt are you making sure everything is switched off before connecting cables to the ss2? If you plug in the satellite cable while the ss2 is switched on you can do irreparable damage.

jontydog, well no.. most of the time its on..... and in another forum where i posted my problem as well..they told me this is the cause of my problem and omid_juve do you remember plugging in the lnb while the box was powered... alot of guys are telling me that ss box is quite sensitive to such things and that might have caused our problem.... although i have been plugging in the lnb without switching off/on my stb for years without any problem.. people tell me that the ss box needs to turned off when ever the lnb is plugged in/out.... i'll take my box back to the shop tomorrow and ask for a replacement (after all its under a years warranty)

is here anyone else who had this problem ? is thier any circuit/device i can plug between the lnb cable/ss box so that it will protect it from such power surges in the future ?

Hi all,

I have the same strange problem. I have SkyStar2 USB connected to HP Presario 1500 laptop. I have updated the drivers to the latest one. In my case it works fine first 1 or two minutes and then the signal gets lost. In some guide shipped on CD i have read, that you need to install WinXP without the ACPI support. But in my case it looked that it worked the same way...

Now I do not have an idea what to do next...
