Please help. When i power openbox v8 combo the green power light lights on but the LED display stays blank. could it be corrupted or what? Thanks.

It could be because of interference from wifi and other telephony signals. Try to put your dish somewhere at low level. am watching it at a maximum of 81%

Problem solved. Thank you so much mashaa. I had to bring the dish down from the flat roof where l had put it. I always thought higher is better but now l know otherwise.

Kungu give us more insight on eutelsat 8B

Kourou, Paris, 21 August 2015 – Eutelsat Communications (NYSE Euronext Paris: ETL) announces that its EUTELSAT 8 West B satellite was successfully launched into orbit by an Ariane 5 rocket on August 20 at 20.34 UTC (17.34 in Kourou). Partial deployment of the solar panels of the 5.8 tonne satellite was completed within four hours of separation. This manoeuvre will be followed in the coming five days by three firings of the satellite’s apogee motor to complete the climb to geostationary orbit, as well as full deployment of the solar panels and the antennas. After a full series of performance tests EUTELSAT 8 West B will transfer to 7/8° West where it will enter full commercial service in early October.

And by the way another thing i tried a single stargold Fuji LNB which was excellent on the PF it was only managing a meagre Q78% on the Fox movies Tp on the offset. I then went for a starlife 0.1dB ordinary LNB and the results improved to CNN Q78% dancing. Offset Lnb for offset dishes, Prime focus Lnb for ..........etc etc

ASAS mates, is it possible to download this topic in its entirety from page 1 to 774 for offline use? like to a single pdf file? Is there a tool that can do that? 

Hi Langas

Yes you can but since its more of a blog you'll have to contact the website admin to extract it from the server or use the old-school method of copying each page to ms word then save it as pdf
