Hi guys, I'm quite new on satellite, I've a problem and I hope you can help.
I have a 80cm dish with 2 lnb one for astra and one for hotbird.
With astra I dont have any problems, but I cannot lock hotbird.
I have a dreambox 500s, could be a problem of the box?
Thanks
Fran

When you state you are using 2 LNB's, is that two separate LNB's or are you using a monoblock?
Also is the other LNB for Astra 1, 19.2E, or is it pointed at Astra 2, 28.2E?

To help you further a photo of your LNB arrangement is ideally needed, together with a quick explanation of which LNB you think is which.
