GT-Sat GT-S3DCSS24 SCR no signal

[StephenRadford]

I also have this LNB and same box as you and generally no issues at all except for when it seems it gets cold, I find I have no signal and a full power reboot (by physical switch) I occasionally have to do during winter months. My rare no signal is first thing of a morning which only thing it does of a morning (around 6am) is a daily ABM update and EPG update just after. I find that when I do have to do a phsyical power reboot, it's fine for rest of the day and sometimes for days after.

It's weird as had this setup for well over a year and it is only during really cold/icy weather I have this no signal issue so for 10+ months of year it's perfectly fine! At least that is pattern I've only been able to find. I too had the LNB switched out by supplier (WoS) and same thing.

I live with this issue as it's obviously very rare and a power cycle fixes it.

I use 1x legacy that goes to a Solo2 but the main feed goes to my Duo4KSE. My Duo4KSE has two actual tuners so I have a splitter at end feed from LNB.

I'm not using latest OpenVix, however. Just 6.4.008.

If it helps, I've attached my (generally) working settings file...

That settings file looks totally different to the ones I posted. Is that the config file in /etc/enigma2/settings?

Yes (minus few personal things like passwords).

It will be slightly different I would expect because I have two physical tuners with a splitter that splits the main feed from LNB into both physical Tuners A and B. Tuners C onwards are virtual tuners (not sure if that correct terminology). For each Tuner, I have set a different "user band".

I'll post some actual screenshots of my tuner settings maybe easier on the eye haha

etc for each of my other virtual tuners.

Below is used to try to force box to keep free an actual physical tuners (A and B) and instead use virtual tuner (C onwards). From what I got from @abu and others on this forum, somethings require an actual physical tuner (things like ABM and EPG, I believe).

Looking at your Tuner A settings picture and my Tuner A settings picture, pretty much same except you dont have the option "Connected through another Tuner".

This is toggled off on my Tuner A and B (physical tuners) but you will see my Tuner C onwards it's enabled that's because my virtual tuners (C onwards) are connected via my physical tuner A.

Not sure if that explains things but maybe one of the others may be able to explain why that is?

Are these LNBs any good, if they don't work in the cold? The spec sheet has the operating temp range of -30°C ~ +65°C.

Was this solved ?....I've been following this as I have exactly the same setup with the same problem !

Most dismayed to see that this thread has just......died !!!!

you need to post your issues with setup.
If you are raising a question about the GT-Sat LNB it works fine in my setup (I have the Italian Scr version)
