Thread: Review of the DMX242 LNBF on a 1.2 meter dish

hi i just bought the dmx242 can you tell me if i use the Dielectric plate does that allow me to get both linier and circular or does it switch it to circular only. Thanks

it switches it to circular only

wonder if you could help with another problem. I have my c band setup and am getting a great lock on sat 91w on my first strike meter but when i scan for channels i am getting no channels. I thought it could be the diseqc switch so i connected it straight to the reciever and still cant hit any channels. Any ideas. Done sat scan and and blind scan and Tp scan but it is not hitting anything. On the metter i have a solid lock on 91w with settings.

F: 3720
sr : 26700
Lo: 5150
Lnb:13
22khz: off
I went up and tested again and still locking on so i then kept the same settings except i changed lnb to 18 and i was not getting a lock. But when i rotated the lnb 180 degrees i then got a strong lock on the meter. shouldnt i be hitting both 13 and 18 from the same location with out needing to rotate it

I don't know the receiver that you're using, but here is your solution.

Sorry should have put that in there i am using a Sv8000HD.

Very nice review!
